Sapphire Blue is a dark grey to near-black granite carrying clusters of blue and violet feldspar. What makes it unusual is that the blue is not a fixed colour: the crystals reflect light at an angle, so the slab looks almost plain from one side of a room and lights up in blue as you walk past it.

That effect, called labradorescence, only shows properly on a polished surface, so we do not recommend honing or leathering this stone. It also means the slab should be seen in person or on video before committing, because a flat photograph does not capture what it does.

It is a premium stone and is normally used in small, deliberate quantities: a bar top, a vanity, a lift lobby panel, a single kitchen island. Used sparingly against a plain neutral, it does more work than a whole floor of it would.
