About Rosewood

Rosewood Granite is quarried in Andhra Pradesh's granite zone, where iron-enriched Precambrian granitoids produce the characteristic reddish-brown colouring. The stone has been in export production for over a decade and is processed to gangsaw slabs and calibrated tiles at Andhra Pradesh units. FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva. Origin and specifications verified by Gemarix.

Geological Profile

Density ~2.70 g/cm³
Water Absorption <0.20%
Compressive Strength ~185 MPa
Mohs Hardness 6 – 7

Rosewood is a medium-grained granite dominated by reddish-brown iron-bearing potassium feldspar, quartz, plagioclase, and biotite, with hornblende as an accessory dark mineral. The rich reddish-brown colour results from elevated iron-oxide content in the orthoclase feldspar. Biotite and hornblende appear as dark brown to near-black clusters distributed through the red-brown matrix. Moderate porosity requires sealing for kitchen and bathroom applications.

Color & Character

Rosewood Granite presents a deep reddish-brown to mahogany matrix with an active pattern of dark brown-black biotite and hornblende clusters set against the warm red-brown ground. The colour evokes warm timber tones — particularly fine rosewood or mahogany — giving the stone an unusual warmth and organic richness compared to cooler granite varieties. On polished surfaces, the red-brown feldspar achieves a deep, warm luminosity, and the stone's overall character appears richer and more saturated.

Best Applications

Kitchen Countertops

Rosewood's warm reddish-brown tone creates dramatic kitchen worktops that pair well with cream, dark wood, and warm-grey cabinetry finishes.

Feature Walls

Feature wall panels in Rosewood deliver warm, richly coloured natural stone backdrops in residential dining rooms and hospitality interiors.

Flooring

Large-format honed Rosewood tiles create warm, richly textured floor surfaces for residential and commercial settings with warm interior palettes.

Fireplace Surrounds

Care & Maintenance

Rosewood Granite should be sealed with an impregnating sealer at installation and re-sealed every 12 months in kitchen and bathroom applications. The warm red-brown tones benefit from prompt spill attention. Clean with pH-neutral stone cleaner; avoid acidic or abrasive products. Polished Rosewood maintains its rich reddish-brown depth under normal conditions.
