About Golden Leaf
Golden Leaf, also known as Feuille D'or, is a premium granite sourced from Saudi Arabia. The stone showcases a warm yellow and gold palette with subtle veining that adds depth and character. Its medium to coarse grain offers a robust texture, making it ideal for both interior and exterior applications such as countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and architectural facades. Golden Leaf performs well under high traffic and temperature variations, especially when finished with a satin or polished surface. Marmi di Carrara supplies this exquisite granite in blocks and 2–3 cm slabs, ready for custom cutting, and provides high‑resolution photographs of actual slabs before purchase to ensure transparency and confidence for architects, designers, and stone buyers.
Typically a fine-grained granite with a yellow and gold hue.

Finishes for Golden Leaf
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.
