About Padang TG78 Lillac Rose
Padang TG78 Lillac Rose is the supplier code for a classic Chinese syenite from the Padang TG programme. “Padang” is the historical collective term for Chinese granites, “TG78” the specific supplier article number, “Lillac Rose” refers to the delicate lilac to pale pink base colour. Characteristic is a fine- to medium-grained igneous mineral texture in a delicate lilac rosé, interspersed with fine black biotite and hornblende speckles and transparent to light grey quartz. The slab appearance is evenly patterned throughout, without pronounced veins or movement signatures. At ROSSITTIS we stock Padang TG78 Lillac Rose for floor surfaces, staircases, façade claddings, external paving, plinth details, pool surrounds, wall claddings, fountain surrounds, kitchen worktops, vanity tops and project-specific bespoke work.
Geologically, Padang TG78 Lillac Rose is petrographically more precisely a syenite — a plutonic igneous rock which is mineralogically related to granite but is characterised by a lower quartz content and a higher potassium feldspar content. In the international stone trade, syenites are consistently assigned to the hard rocks and listed under “granite”, since they behave technically like classic hard granites. The main deposits of Chinese syenites lie in Fujian and Shandong, where a family of related sortings has been quarried commercially for decades.
The technical values place Padang TG78 Lillac Rose clearly in the class of robust hard rocks: high compressive strength, low water absorption well below 0.5 per cent, frost-resistant to DIN EN 12371, acid-resistant within the normal application range. This makes the material suitable without reservation for demanding external and internal applications — including in Central European climate zones with hard winters and de-icing salt exposure. Compared with classic Norwegian syenites such as Labrador Blue Pearl or Labrador Hell, Padang TG78 Lillac Rose shows a markedly lighter and calmer base colour without the labradorescent light effect; compared with classic pink granite sortings such as Rosa Beta, the mineral variety is finer-grained and the colour tone more restrained.
At ROSSITTIS, Padang TG78 Lillac Rose is available as a raw slab (random slab), as a floor tile, as a tread and riser, as a window sill, as a skirting, as a paving stone, as a façade element, as a pool surround and as a project-specific cut to size; likewise as a kitchen worktop. The finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down.
Our frank assessment: Padang TG78 Lillac Rose is a very coherent choice for projects looking for a calm, light hard rock with a delicate rosé-lilac base colour and the full robustness of a hard rock. Chinese syenites from the Padang TG programme offer consistent quality, wide availability and good value for money.

Padang TG78 Lillac Rose is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.
Polished
Polishing is the most classic finish in the hard stone segment — a mirror-smooth, high-gloss surface with the highest possible colour intensity and maximum depth effect in the mineral structure. As an acid-resistant silicate stone, polished granite is easy to care for and the first choice for kitchen worktops, wall claddings and prestigious exposed surfaces.
Care & fabrication
As a Chinese syenite of the granite family, Padang TG78 Lillac Rose can be maintained over the long term and cleaned without difficulty. For kitchen worktops, external paving and heavily frequented floor surfaces we recommend a silane or polysiloxane-based sealer as protection against red wine, coffee, oil and tomato sauce. Routine cleaning is carried out with a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth or mop. You should avoid strongly alkaline deep cleaners, acidic products such as vinegar or citrus cleaners and abrasive scouring pads. Outdoors, Padang TG78 Lillac Rose is frost-resistant and tolerant of de-icing salt — rinse off salt residues in spring. Refresh the sealer every three to five years.
Frequently asked questions
What is a syenite?
Syenites are plutonic igneous rocks, mineralogically related to granite — they differ above all through a lower quartz content and a higher potassium feldspar content. In the international stone trade, syenites are consistently listed as granite, since they behave technically like classic hard granites.
Where is Padang TG78 Lillac Rose quarried?
The material comes from the Chinese syenite producing regions — the main deposits of Chinese syenites lie in Fujian and Shandong.
What finishes are available?
The finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.
Is Padang TG78 Lillac Rose suitable for kitchen worktops?
Very much so. As a Chinese syenite of the granite family, Padang TG78 Lillac Rose is acid-resistant, stain-resistant (with a good sealer) and very robust in everyday cooking use.
Is Padang TG78 Lillac Rose frost-resistant?
Yes. Chinese syenites and granites are frost-resistant to DIN EN 12371 and suitable without reservation for Central European climate zones as external paving, stairs, façades and pool surrounds.
Padang TG78 Lillac Rose or a Norwegian Labrador syenite — which suits better?
Both are syenites. Norwegian syenites such as Labrador Blue Pearl or Labrador Hell show the characteristic labradorescent light effect — reflections in blue and gold from labradorite feldspar crystals. Padang TG78 Lillac Rose has no labradorescence and shows a calm, light, delicately lilac base colour — more flexible in planning terms and with a markedly different colour character.
How do I clean and care for Padang TG78 Lillac Rose?
Daily care with a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth. A silane-based sealer after installation provides additional protection against strongly staining substances. Refresh every three to five years.
What does Padang TG78 Lillac Rose cost?
The price depends on the batch, thickness, surface finish and fabrication — with natural stone there is no serious flat rate per square metre. Business customers see prices once their B2B account is activated; private customers receive a complete quote through a fabricator near them.
