Kuppam Green Granite.
Kuppam Green Granite is a striking deep blue-green stone quarried from Kuppam in Andhra Pradesh — a rare, intensely coloured natural green granite valued internationally for its deep, saturated teal-green tone and excellent physical properties.
About Green
Kuppam Green Granite is quarried near Kuppam town in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, within the Eastern Ghats geological belt. The stone's distinctive blue-green to teal colouring results from a specific combination of chlorite, epidote, and hornblende minerals in the host granitoid intrusive, a formation confined to this area of Andhra Pradesh. The Kuppam quarry zone has supplied export-grade green granite for over two decades. FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva. Origin and specifications verified by Gemarix.
Geological Profile
Kuppam Green is classified as a green granite or chlorite-hornblende granitoid. The intense blue-green to teal colouring results from the presence of chlorite, epidote, and chloritised hornblende as major mineral phases within a plagioclase-quartz matrix. The blue character distinguishes Kuppam Green from the yellower-green Hassan Green variety. Accessory magnetite, ilmenite, and pyrite contribute dark inclusions across the surface. Low porosity and high density give the stone good structural and stain-resistance properties.
Color & Character
Kuppam Green Granite presents a deep teal to blue-green matrix with a fine, even granular texture and scattered dark mineral inclusions. The blue-green tone is more saturated and slightly cooler than Hassan Green — giving Kuppam Green a slightly more dramatic, mineral-rich character. On polished surfaces, the green matrix develops an intense, jewel-like reflectivity that amplifies the depth of colour. The surface is relatively uniform, without prominent veining or directional patterning, making it effective in large-format applications.

Care & Maintenance
Kuppam Green Granite has low porosity and good stain resistance. Apply an impregnating sealer at installation for kitchen and bathroom use, refreshing every 18 to 24 months. Avoid acid-based and bleach-based cleaners that may react with the chlorite and epidote mineral phases. Clean with pH-neutral stone cleaner and dry polished surfaces promptly. The polished finish retains the stone's deep green colour under normal conditions.
