About Pretoria Gold

Pretoria Gold comes from India and belongs to the warm-toned Indian gneisses that are carried on the market under the trade category of granite. The designation “Gold” describes the dominant colour pattern: warm golden tones, ochre yellow and ochre brown, run through by grey and white inclusions that lend the stone a lively, almost streaming texture.

In geological terms Pretoria Gold is a gneiss – a metamorphic rock whose characteristic layered texture is responsible for the animated, flowing slab pattern. Technically it possesses the same properties as a high-grade granite: high hardness, resistance to acid, good compressive strength and durability. This combination makes it suitable both as a stone for prestigious interiors and for loaded exterior areas.

Finishes

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

Satin-honed

The satin surface is created by brushing, which selectively removes softer minerals and gives the surface a slight depth. A matte appearance with subtle light reflection and a warm feel to the touch. Easy to maintain, insensitive to scratches and suited to everyday use — a popular alternative to a polish in modern kitchens and living spaces.
