Verde Borgogna Granite
A Dramatic Dark Green Stone with Naturally Unique Veining
Verde Borgogna is one of the most distinctive green natural stones from Iran, known for its deep green to black-green background and expressive natural movement.
The stone can display a combination of white, grey, brown, red and burgundy mineral veining, creating a highly individual appearance from slab to slab. This natural variation gives Verde Borgogna a strong architectural identity and makes it particularly suitable for projects where the stone itself is intended to become a visual focal point.
Although Verde Borgogna is frequently marketed internationally as Granite or Marble, it is also widely identified in the stone trade as Serpentinite / Serpentine. International listings specifically use names such as Verde Borgogna Serpentinite and Verde Borgogna Serpentine.
Its rich green character works particularly well in luxury interiors, feature walls, hotel lobbies, restaurants, reception areas, fireplaces and decorative architectural elements.
At Riwa Stone, Verde Borgogna can be supplied in selected slabs and processed according to project requirements. Its Leathered Finish is especially effective at revealing the natural texture and depth of the stone while giving the surface a refined, tactile appearance.
