Labrador granite

Labrador granite is mined in the Larvik area of Norway and is characterized by its large mineral grains, special bluish luster and its high color and grain structure variation. No two stones are exactly alike. Labrador granite can be described as variegated, lively and shimmering, which appears mainly on polished surfaces. Labrador granite comes in lighter and darker shades.

On Labrador granite, it is important to use a clear font that is not too thin in a high-contrast color, otherwise it is easy for the background to take over and it is difficult to see the text. Even raised text works well on Labrador granite.

The advantage of Labrador granite is that you get a unique tombstone with a special bluish sheen on polished surfaces.

A disadvantage of Labrador granite can be that the variegated surface can give a messy impression and the text can be difficult to see unless you choose a clear font and color.

It is difficult to order accessories for the stone afterwards if you want the same color shade.
