Aperçu du produit
Blue Bahia Granite is widely considered the “crown jewel” of blue natural stones. Quarried in the state of Bahia, Brésil, this stone is not actually a standard granite but a Sodalite-rich Syenite. Its defining feature is the intense, saturated blue color that ranges from deep navy to bright sky blue, mixed with white, beige, and black veining.
En tant que High-End Exotic Stone, Blue Bahia is prized for its rarity, as blue is the hardest color to find in nature. It is an incredibly dense material. As a professional stone manufacturer in China, Caron Stone sources premium Blue Bahia blocks directly from Brazilian quarries and processes them into polished slabs and custom architectural elements with factory-direct precision.

Foire aux questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is the blue color in Blue Bahia natural?
Yes. The vibrant blue comes from a natural mineral called Sodalite. It is not dyed or painted.
Q2: Is it a granite or marble?
Commercially, it is sold as a granite because of its hardness and durability. Geologically, it is a Sodalite-Syenite.
Q3: Does it etch with lemon juice?
Blue Bahia is generally resistant to acids, but some lighter inclusions (calcite) might react. We strongly recommend sealing it to be safe.
Q4: Why is Blue Bahia so expensive?
It is one of the rarest stones on earth. The quarry is difficult to access, and blocks with high blue content are limited.
Q5: Can I use it outdoors?
We recommend caution. While durable, the blue Sodalite mineral can fade slightly over many years of direct, harsh UV exposure.
Q6: What cabinet colors fit best?
Crisp White makes the blue pop. Dark Wood creates a library/nautical feel. Gold/Brass hardware is a must.
Q7: Can you do book-matching?
Yes, the swirling patterns look incredible when book-matched on a large wall.
Q8: Do you have stock in China?
Yes, we import blocks directly from Brazil and keep polished slabs in stock at our China factory.
Q9: Is it hard to maintain?
No more than standard granite. Seal it annually and clean with mild soap and water.
Q10: What is the lead time?
For in-stock slabs, 7-10 days. For custom cut-to-size projects, please allow 3-4 weeks.
