Alaska Gold Granite, Selection Granite & Marble, Palanpur

Best used for

Alaska Gold is a granite in gold, beige and cream with scattered dark brown and black patches. It has a large, flowing pattern rather than a regular speckle, and it looks warm under yellow lights. It suits dining tables, kitchen islands, bar and reception counters and feature walls, and goes well with dark wood and brass fittings.

Things to know

The pattern moves across the slab and changes from slab to slab, so choose the actual slabs and plan the joints on a long counter. The cream areas are lighter and more likely to hold an oil stain, so seal it after fitting and wipe spills when you see them. Look at the slab in daylight as well as under your own lights; gold stone can read quite yellow under warm bulbs.
