Rosa Abu Simbel Granite
Egypt
(Wadi Halfa, Assuan Region)
Rosa Abu Simbel Granite is a medium- to coarse-grained igneous rock featuring a harmonious blend of gray, rose-pink, and mahogany mineral grains. The pattern is subtly mottled, with feldspar giving the warm pink hue, quartz providing the gray tones, and biotite/mica imparting darker mahogany streaks. The color distribution is consistent, making it suitable for large continuous surfaces without significant variation.
