Granite

Amazon Star

Amazon Star is a blue-grey Brazilian granite with strong, mineral movement and very good external performance. At ROSSITTIS it is used for floors, stairs, facades and worktops, wherever a load-bearing stone with expressive colour is called for.

About Amazon Star

Amazon Star is one of those Brazilian granites that perform strongly both visually and technically. Its colouring often lies in a spectrum of grey, blue, darker mineral zones and lively movement, without slipping into pure exoticism. This makes the stone read as striking while remaining suitable for architecture. For stairs, facades, floors and kitchens in particular, that is a very interesting profile.

The stone comes from Brazil and is listed as a granite. Compared with calmer granites, Amazon Star reads as livelier; against some exotic quartzites, however, markedly more technical and more load-bearing. The combination of a bluish effect and high resistance makes it equally attractive for internal and external projects. It works both as a design stone and as a robust material.

Finishes

Amazon Star is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.

Poliert

Politur ist die klassischste Veredelung im Hartgesteinsegment — eine spiegelglatte, hochglänzende Oberfläche mit höchstmöglicher Farbintensität und maximaler Tiefenwirkung der Mineralstruktur. Als säurebeständiges Silikatgestein ist polierter Granit pflegeleicht und für Küchenarbeitsplatten, Wandverkleidungen und repräsentative Sichtflächen erste Wahl.

Care & fabrication

Amazon Star is easy to look after, but should nevertheless be sealed on kitchen and bathroom surfaces. That makes cleaning and care easier and reduces limescale or grease films.

For cleaning and care, pH-neutral natural stone cleaners, a soft cloth and regular dry wiping are sufficient. Acid resistance is given; aggressive chemistry nevertheless remains unnecessary.

On darker and lively surfaces, soap residues or limescale rings are less conspicuous than on homogeneous black tones, but should nevertheless be removed regularly.

Outdoors, the appropriate finish, proper drainage and a clean substructure matter more than special care. Slip-resistant textured finishes are particularly sensible there.

Frequently asked questions

Is Amazon Star suitable for a kitchen?

Yes, very much so. At around 2,690 kg/m³ bulk density, only about 0.08 % water absorption, approximately 129.0 MPa compressive strength and documented acid resistance, Amazon Star is a very load-bearing kitchen stone.

What finishes are available in Amazon Star?

The finishes currently available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.

Where does Amazon Star come from?

Amazon Star comes from Brazil, where it is one of the colourful, technically very load-bearing granites.

How do I clean Amazon Star correctly?

For cleaning and care, pH-neutral natural stone cleaners and regular maintenance cleaning are sufficient. A sealer is sensible on kitchen and bathroom surfaces.

Is Amazon Star frost-resistant?

Yes. Amazon Star is regarded as frost-resistant and is therefore very well suited to external surfaces, steps and facades.

Amazon Star or Amazon Flower?

Amazon Star is positioned even more clearly as an external stone in technical terms and often reads as somewhat more matter-of-fact. Amazon Flower frequently appears more decorative and more strongly geared to internal effect.
