Description
G603 Granite is a widely known and popular granite variety that originates from China. It is also commonly referred to as "Bianco Crystal" or "Padang Cristal" granite. G603 granite is recognized for its pale gray to light gray background color with consistent speckles or flecks of various shades of gray.
The grain size of G603 can vary, ranging from fine to medium, and it often exhibits a granular or crystalline texture. The overall appearance of G603 granite is uniform and consistent, making it a versatile and sought-after choice for a variety of applications.
G603 granite is highly durable and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is frequently utilized in construction projects, including countertops, flooring, wall cladding, staircases, and exterior paving. The neutral and versatile color of G603 allows it to complement a wide range of design styles and color schemes.
This granite variety has gained popularity due to its attractive appearance, durability, and competitive pricing. It is widely available in the global market, making it accessible for various residential and commercial projects.
G603 Granite Quarries in Fujian have been shut down by the local government a long time ago, but gray granite with similar characteristics is mined in other provinces of the country.
Mohs Hardness Scale: 6-7
Mineralogical Composition of G603 Granite % wt:
- Quartz: 38%
- Orthoclase feldspar: 27%
- Plagioclase feldspar: 25%
- Biotite: 5%
- Muscovite: 2%
- Other minerals: 3%
*** The G603 granite quarry, primarily located in Jinjiang, Fujian Province, China, was officially closed by the Chinese government around 2016 due to environmental regulations and mining restrictions. The closure was part of China's broader efforts to enforce stricter environmental protection policies and reduce the impact of excessive quarrying.
However, alternative sources of similar G603-like granite have since emerged from other regions in China, such as Hubei (Hubei G603) and Henan (Henan G603), as well as from countries like Vietnam. While these alternatives closely resemble the original Fujian G603, they may have slight differences in texture, color, and mineral composition.
If you are looking for a G603 replacement, you might consider Hubei G603, Hainan G603, or Vietnam G603, depending on the specific requirements of your project.
