Lemurian Granite (also known as Lemurian Blue or sometimes Lemurian Labradorite) is a type of granite with a high content of labradorite, distinguished by its unique visual characteristics.



Labradorite Gemstone vs. Labradorite Granite


Labradorite Gemstone is a mineral from the feldspar group, known for its iridescence (blue, green, and violet flashes). It usually comes in small stones and fragments, which limits its use in architecture and interior design. Therefore, it is mainly used in jewelry and decorative panels.


Labradorite Granite is a commercial name for a decorative rock that contains labradorite along with other minerals (quartz, biotite, etc.). It is more durable than pure labradorite and widely used in architecture—for cladding, flooring, countertops, and facades—combining decorative beauty with high strength.



A Mystical Glow for Interiors

When incorporated into interiors, Labradorite Blue Granite brings an ethereal, almost celestial presence. The unique moonlight-like glow, combined with its reflective gemstone crystals and the interplay of black mica, creates a sophisticated visual that constantly evolves throughout the day. The stone’s ability to shift with changes in light makes it a perfect material for luxurious flooring, creating a surface that is both visually stunning and tactilely pleasant.

In Living Rooms and Hallways:

Using Labradorite Blue Granite for flooring can create a striking focal point that draws attention while maintaining a calm, serene atmosphere. The stone’s glossy patterns, which shift in the light, ensure that no two moments in the room feel the same. When used in large spaces like living rooms or hallways, it not only adds grandeur but also depth to the room, enhancing the spatial perception.


In Kitchens and Dining Areas:

As countertops or even backsplashes, this gemstone offers both practicality and beauty. The stone’s high-reflective qualities and ever-changing hues make it perfect for kitchens, where it pairs effortlessly with both modern and classic cabinetry. In dining areas, it creates a sophisticated backdrop that invites conversation, all while elevating the overall design of the space.

Duramica GemStone panels

Our Duramica GemStone panels showcase an exceptional collection of large-format designs, meticulously crafted from carefully selected, decorative pieces of Labradorite, rather than using solid slabs.

This process results in truly one-of-a-kind panels that capture the stunning iridescence and dynamic visual appeal of Labradorite, creating a luxurious and timeless design feature for any interior.
