Costa Esmeralda is a prestigious Italian granite, primarily quarried in the picturesque regions of Italy. This natural stone is celebrated for its sophisticated palette, featuring an enchanting soft light green background that serves as a canvas for a mesmerizing interplay of delicate white, wispy gray, and dominant golden veins. Known for its exceptional durability and resistance to heat and staining, it is an ideal choice for both high-end interior applications like countertops and expansive exterior landscaping projects. Interestingly, while it is widely recognized as an Italian treasure, nearly identical geological "twins" are also found in Brazil and Iran.
Costa Esmeralda is a 2 cm green with blue and gold granite from Italy, offered in a honed finish. Lot 261340 measures about 125″ × 76″, with 3 slabs available and one on hold at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 125″ × 76″, about 66 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is green with blue and gold. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. This material is recorded as quarried in Italy.
The honed finish is smooth and matte, without a high gloss. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.
In the yard
Lot 261340 at our Los Angeles yard shows 4 slabs in stock, one slab on hold, and 3 slabs available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.
The slabs can be compared in daylight at our Los Angeles yard before anything is cut.
Where it works
For this kind of stone, the usual applications are kitchen countertops, vanities, and floors. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in an Outdoor Kitchen and a Kitchen.
The material
Granite is an igneous rock quarried around the world. It is built mostly from quartz, feldspar, and mica, and it is one of the harder stones used on counters. It stands up to heat, scratches, and everyday moisture better than most marble. A uniform color stays close from slab to slab, while a veined granite should still be matched inside the lot before it is cut. A honed face looks matte, a polish looks reflective, and a leather or brushed face feels lightly textured. Ask the fabricator whether this finish should be sealed.
