Salvatierra Granite

The Azul Extremadura is a blue/grey coloured granite with some black tonalities. It presents a quite dense structure with a medium to gross grain, along with a compact texture, uniform background and a considerable hardness. The Azul Extremadura is extracted by a few medium-size quarries in the western part of Spain, where the blocks are normally large in dimension. This granite has attained an interesting market in Spain, which contrasts the so far modest worldwide presence.
