Ruweidah Pink (also Saudi Pink) is a classic Saudi Arabian red granite with a warm pink to salmon ground colour, black biotite speckles and transparent to light grey quartz. High-strength, frost-resistant and acid-resistant — suitable for floor areas, stairs, façades, exterior paving, kitchen worktops and prestige exterior architecture.
Ruweidah Pink (traded in the market also as Saudi Pink, Ruweida Pink or Ruweidah Pink Granite) is a classic Saudi Arabian red granite from the production regions around Ruweidah in western Saudi Arabia. Characteristic is a warm pink to salmon ground colour of pink-tinted potassium feldspar, interspersed with fine black biotite speckles, transparent to light grey quartz and in part light grey plagioclase. The slab is medium- to coarse-grained and shows the typical igneous, isotropic mineral arrangement of a classic granite, without pronounced veins or patterns of movement. At ROSSITTIS we stock Ruweidah Pink for floor areas, staircases, façade claddings, exterior paving, plinth details, pool surrounds, wall claddings, fountain enclosures, kitchen worktops, vanity tops and project-specific special fabrication.
Geologically, Ruweidah Pink is a classic igneous granite from the Arabian Shield — one of the oldest continental basements in the world, in which a whole family of related pink and red granites has been quarried commercially for decades. Mineralogically, pink-tinted potassium feldspar and transparent to light grey quartz dominate as the main constituents, complemented by plagioclase and biotite as accent minerals. The source of the identification as a Saudi Arabian granite is Natursteinpflege24.de.
The technical values place Ruweidah Pink firmly 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 fully suitable for demanding exterior and interior applications — including in Central European climate zones with hard winters and de-icing salt exposure. Compared with classic red granites such as Rosso Balmoral from Finland or Padang TG48 Rosa Beta from China, Ruweidah Pink is typically warmer in its pink tone with a somewhat coarser-grained mineral texture.
At ROSSITTIS, Ruweidah Pink is available as a raw slab (random-size 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 surface finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down.
Our honest assessment: Ruweidah Pink is a very coherent choice for projects looking for a warm, classic red granite from the Middle East with the full robustness of a hard rock. Saudi Arabian granites from the Arabian Shield offer outstanding geological maturity and consistent quality.

Ruweidah Pink Saudi Pink 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 Saudi Arabian granite, Ruweidah Pink can be maintained over the long term and cleaned without difficulty. For kitchen worktops, exterior paving and heavily frequented floor areas we recommend a silane- or polysiloxane-based impregnation as protection against red wine, coffee, oil and tomato sauce. Ongoing cleaning is done with a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth or mop; clear water alone is almost always enough for day-to-day care. You should avoid strongly alkaline deep cleaners, acidic products such as vinegar or lemon cleaners and abrasive scouring pads. Outdoors, Ruweidah Pink is frost-resistant and tolerant of de-icing salt — rinse off de-icing salt residues in spring. Refresh the impregnation every three to five years.
Frequently asked questions
Which other designations does Ruweidah Pink carry?
In the market the material runs under Ruweidah Pink (the main designation), Saudi Pink, Ruweida Pink and Ruweidah Pink Granite. All designations refer to the same Saudi Arabian red granite from the production regions around Ruweidah.
Where is Ruweidah Pink quarried?
Ruweidah Pink comes from the quarrying regions around Ruweidah in western Saudi Arabia — one of the most significant granite production regions of the Arabian Shield, one of the oldest continental basements in the world.
Which surface finishes are available for Ruweidah Pink?
The surface finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.
Is Ruweidah Pink suitable for kitchen worktops?
Very much so. As a Saudi Arabian granite, Ruweidah Pink is acid-resistant, stain-resistant (with good impregnation) and very robust in everyday cooking. Wine, lemon juice or vinegar leave no etch marks.
Is Ruweidah Pink frost-resistant?
Yes. Saudi Arabian granites of the Arabian Shield are frost-resistant to DIN EN 12371 and fully suitable for Central European climate zones as exterior paving, stairs, façades and pool surrounds.
How do I clean and care for Ruweidah Pink?
Day-to-day care with a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth — avoid acidic or strongly alkaline cleaners as well as abrasive pads. A silane- or polysiloxane-based impregnation after installation additionally protects against strongly colouring substances; refresh every three to five years.
What does Ruweidah Pink Saudi Pink 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.
