Granite
Red Nevertari belongs to the same Aswan red family and answers to the same tests, but it reads differently at distance. The feldspar runs to a steadier brick red and the dark mica flecks are more evenly spread, so a wall of it holds one colour where a coarser red would shift bench to bench.
That evenness is the reason to specify it. On a long elevation or a stair run where the eye can compare one piece against the next, an even granite forgives what a dramatic one exposes.
Finish decides the colour as much as the block does. Polished, it deepens and the quartz turns glassy; flamed, the same face lifts lighter, greyer and dustier, and gains dependable grip. Bush hammering takes it further still. Approve a sample in the finish you will actually build in.
Supplied as blocks, slabs and cut to size.
