About Copperstone
Copperstone is a striking granite from China, characterized by its warm reddish-orange large-grain crystals on a pewter-gray base. This natural stone offers a bold, earthy aesthetic that adds depth and character to both interior and exterior projects. Its robust structure makes it ideal for flooring, countertops, and cladding, where durability is essential. Copperstone is available in polished, honed, or flamed finishes to suit various design requirements. Marmi di Carrara supplies this Chinese granite in blocks, 2/3 cm slabs, and cut-to-size pieces. We provide high-resolution photos of actual slabs before purchase, ensuring you select the exact Copperstone variation that fits your vision.

Finishes for Copperstone
Polished
Mirror-like gloss that brings out colour and veining at full depth. The classic choice for walls, tops and interior floors; slippery when wet.
Honed
Smooth and matt, with a soft satin look. Hides small scratches and etching better than a polish and is safer underfoot.
Leathered
A brushed texture on hard stones: matt, lightly textured and very good at hiding fingerprints and water marks on worktops.
Bush-hammered
A rough, pitted surface made with a toothed hammer. Maximum slip resistance for exterior paving, ramps and steps.
Flamed
A thermal finish that makes the crystals burst and leaves a rough, non-slip surface. The standard for exterior granite.
Care and maintenance
- Clean with water and a neutral detergent; hard stones tolerate everyday use very well.
- Sealing is quick and recommended on light colours and on honed, leathered or flamed finishes.
- Avoid waxes and film-forming products that leave a layer on the surface.
- Outdoors, an occasional wash with a pressure cleaner at moderate pressure restores the colour.
- Hot pans, knives and frost are not a problem for most stones of this family; use trivets anyway to protect sealers.
