Its color is light gray and may appear with shades of yellow, orange or copper. The material may vary in color depending on the batch and the quarry from which it is sourced. The grit is gray and may naturally contain around 15–30% of rusty tones, which is completely normal. This is a natural product, so individual batches may differ depending on the geology of the extracted rock.
Mother Nature does not accept complaints about this, as the product is 100% natural and not modified by humans.
This grit will definitely brighten your space. Like any natural stone, it blends beautifully with plantings, colorful flowers and greenery. It also looks excellent in combination with concrete paving stones, edging elements and natural wood.
Remember that with this grit you can also choose granite edging, granite cubes, palisades, stepping stones or terrace slabs, allowing you to maintain a consistent color scheme in your space. If you like monochromatic garden solutions, this stone is an excellent choice.
