Blue Pearl granite is quarried in Norway. Prized for its silvery, blue color, the stone is distributed throughout Scandinavia and the world as a tile and countertop material.
Although the name of the stone indicates a blue color, the granite is actually more silver or metallic blue in color than a true blue. Excessive amounts of mica in the stone, along with quartz, give the stone a pearlescent sheen when polished, lending to its name. The stone’s surface color is comprised of white, gray, blue-gray and black flecks. Rather than having veins of color like some stones, Blue Pearl granite has a tightly flecked pattern of color.
