Tan Brown Granite
Please note that these are average samples only. Due to Tan Brown Granite being a natural material, rough block, slabs, tiles, and monuments are all liable to vary in colour and veining, therefore absolute resemblance cannot be guaranteed. Swatch samples must be approved for large projects. There are two original Tan Brown granite quarries howeverthere are also several look-a-like quarries all with their own unique colour and veining variations.

Description: Tan Brown Granite has black-brown cordieritefels with big, shapeless, brown-red feldspar crystals. This stone internationally may be nominated as a granite however in the area of application of the European Standard this stone must be nominated as cordieritefel.
Cordieritefels: A phaneritic, intrusive igneous rock characterized by a predominance of plagioclase feldspar (90-100%), and a minimal mafic component (0-10%). Pyroxene, ilmenite, magnetite, and olivine are the mafic minerals most commonly present.
Granite: Granite is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive, felsic, igneous rock. Granites are usually medium to coarse grained, occasionally with some individual crystals larger than the groundmass forming a rock known as porphyry. Granites can be pink to dark grey or even black, depending on their chemistry and mineralogy.
