Alaska Gold
Granite

Alaska Gold Granite is quarried from granite formations along the southern Rajasthan and Gujarat border region — one of India’s most productive granite belts. The stone is processed into gangsaw slabs, counter cuts, and precision tiles at our Rajasthan facility and exported FOB Mundra or Nhava Sheva. Every consignment is graded before shipment to ensure colour consistency within the accepted natural variation range.

The southern Rajasthan granite belt yields stones with characteristically warm golden tones, and Alaska Gold is among the most consistently coloured in this group. Gangsaw slabs measure 280 × 180 cm, providing maximum yield for large-format floor and wall installations. Origin and specifications verified by Gemarix.

Alaska Gold Granite is a coarse-grained calc-alkaline granite formed through deep-crustal magmatic intrusion within the Aravalli–Delhi fold belt. Its mineral composition is dominated by potassium feldspar (orthoclase and microcline), quartz, and plagioclase feldspar, with biotite mica as the principal accessory mineral. The high potassium feldspar content and its moderate iron-oxide content are the primary source of the characteristic golden-beige colouration. The interlocking crystalline texture formed during slow sub-surface cooling produces dimensional stability and mechanical strength suited to both interior and exterior applications.

Technical properties: density approximately 2.62–2.65 g/cm³, compressive strength typically exceeding 160 MPa, water absorption below 0.35%, Mohs hardness 6–7. These values confirm excellent frost resistance, scratch resistance, and stability under thermal cycling, making the stone appropriate for exterior paving, facades, and northern European or high-altitude installations where thermal movement must be considered.

Alaska Gold Granite presents a warm golden-beige to honey-gold tone — one of the most widely exported golden granites from North India. The distinctive gold colouration originates from potassium feldspar crystals with moderate-to-high iron-oxide staining in the yellow-gold range. Cream and white quartz inclusions are evenly distributed, providing tonal contrast that prevents the surface from appearing uniform; fine biotite mica flecks add dark accents and a subtle metallic sparkle visible under direct light. The colour reads consistently across production runs, making the stone reliable for large multi-shipment architectural projects where batch-to-batch uniformity matters.

Colour consistency is reliable within production runs, and variation between blocks falls within normal natural stone tolerances. The stone responds well to multiple finish treatments — polished surfaces bring out the deepest gold expression and the individual mica sparkle, while honed and leathered finishes shift the character toward a warmer, more matte quality. Both reads are commercially relevant depending on application type and design intent.

Alaska Gold Granite is specified across both interior and exterior applications in residential, commercial, hospitality, and civic projects. Its hardness, low porosity, and dimensional stability suit it to flooring, wall cladding, kitchen and bathroom countertops, stair treads, exterior paving, and facade cladding. The warm golden tone works well alongside light timbers, warm neutrals, and terracotta-family materials in mixed-material interiors. The stone’s frost resistance makes it appropriate for exterior use across a wide climate range.

Gangsaw slabs (280 × 180 cm) serve facades and large floor installations. Cutter slabs (180 × 60 cm) are suited to monument fabrication, stair and threshold work, and custom tile cutting. Standard tile sizes — 60 × 60 cm, 30 × 60 cm, 60 × 90 cm — are available cut and polished from our Rajasthan facility.

Polished finish achieves the deepest gold expression and reveals the metallic mica sparkle; honed delivers a softer, warm-gold matte quality preferred for floor and exterior applications; leathered adds tactile depth while retaining the warm colour. Brushed finish is available for heritage and rustic applications where a weathered character is preferred.

Alaska Gold Granite is supplied in two standard production formats. Gangsaw slabs are the large-format option for premium architectural projects requiring continuous or bookmatched surfaces. Cutter slabs are the smaller format suited to residential countertop fabrication, monument work, stair treads, and custom tile production.

Alaska Gold Granite requires minimal maintenance compared to marble or limestone. Its low porosity resists staining without sealing in most commercial and exterior applications. For kitchen countertop use, apply a light penetrating impregnating sealer at installation and reseal annually. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner; avoid harsh acids or bleach-based products on polished surfaces. For exterior installations, periodic pressure washing is sufficient. Polished surfaces retain their gloss well without re-polishing for many years in normal use.
