Larvik Granite AS

Established in 1987, Larvik Granite is one of the youngest, but most successful quarry owners in Norway.

Blue Pearl, the most famous of the Larvik stones, is characterised by its large blue, pearly crystals, set in a luxurious deep blue stone. The name "Blue Pearl" covers a wide range of materials, with varying colours and qualities. Our range of stones are all of the same high quality, but to make life easier for customers, we have chosen to group them according to colouring, ranging from LG HQ Plus, the darkest of stones, to LG Light the lightest coloured alternative.

Silver Pearl® is a dark grey stone with large, shiny pearls. It is available in two types; Silver Pearl® and Silver Pearl® Building. Colouring and quality are the same, but Silver Pearl® Building is cut at a 45 degree angle to increase efficienty and lower prices. Such cutting is possible due to the shape and size of crystals. Uniform colour, competitive pricing and high availability makes Silver Pearl® quite unique and a perfect project material.

Emerald Pearl is an elegant dark green stone with silver-blue pearls. The quarry is still under development, so we have not yet reached the best qualities. At present, production is mainly commercial qualities, but the stone has a uniform structure and quality is consistent. In newer levels, we see improved colour and quality. In the future, we will be able to supply a total range of Emerald Pearl from commercial to the best possible quality.

Blue Antique® is slightly different to our other granite stones, with its unique warm brown colour, and blue and turquoise crystals. Blue Antique® can be cut in any directions, as crystals and colouring are strong and evenly spread, meaning that first choice materials can be sourced from second and third choice blocks.

Masi Quartzite is also known as Verde Lapponia and Lapland Green. The materials has a unique green colouring with extraordinary patterns. Through the use of resin, lower qualities can be used with good results. For this reason, we have decided to reduce the price gap between the various qualities, making this very limited material more available.
