About Gold

Inkas Gold Granite is quarried from South India's established gold-family granite zone in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, where iron-bearing Precambrian intrusives produce the warm amber-gold colouring. The stone is processed to gangsaw slabs and calibrated tiles at South India units and has been in export production for over a decade. FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva. Origin and specifications verified by Gemarix.

Geological Profile

Density ~2.66 g/cm³
Water Absorption <0.22%
Compressive Strength ~175 MPa
Mohs Hardness 6 – 7

Inkas Gold is a medium-to-coarse grained granite with iron-bearing potassium feldspar as the dominant colour-producing phase, accompanied by quartz, plagioclase, hornblende, and biotite. The amber-gold feldspar colour results from trace iron-oxide minerals within the orthoclase crystal structure. Hornblende and biotite occur as dark clusters distributed through the gold matrix, with lighter quartz-plagioclase bodies providing additional contrast. Moderate porosity requires sealing for wet and food-contact surfaces.

Color & Character

Inkas Gold Granite has a warm amber to deep gold matrix with an active pattern of near-black hornblende-biotite clusters and lighter cream feldspar-quartz zones. The composition is energetic and warm, with the gold ground providing a rich base for the darker and lighter mineral bodies. Polished surfaces develop an intense, deep warm luminosity — the amber depth of the feldspar fully revealed under light. The stone's visual richness and warmth place it firmly in the luxury-specification category of gold granites.

Care & Maintenance

Inkas Gold Granite should be sealed with an impregnating sealer at installation and re-sealed every 12 months in kitchen and bathroom use. The gold matrix benefits from prompt attention to oil and food spills. Clean with pH-neutral stone cleaner and avoid acidic or abrasive products. Polished Inkas Gold maintains its rich amber depth under normal conditions.
