Rainforest Brown Granite name and origin

Rainforest Brown granite comes from Rajasthan in India. This type of brown granite is sometimes also called Forest Brown granite or Cafe Forest Granite. However, all three names mark the same kind of natural stone. Rainforest Brown is not actually granite. Rainforest granite is actually a type of stone called “serpentinite”. This rock is composed of one or more serpentine group minerals. People usually call it serpentine. However, serpentine is actually a set of minerals that together create serpentinite. The name ‘serpentinite” this rock got because of its resemblance to the look of snake skin. This variety of Rainforest Brown granite is somewhere between granite and marble. However, Rainforest granite – serpentinite will act as any other granite countertop in your kitchen. It’s tough, hard, dense and acid resistant. Brown rainforest granite ranks 7 or 8 on the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness. This means that a kitchen countertop made from this stone will last for years.

The look of Rainforest Brown Granite

The primary colors in this beautiful granite are brown and gray. The character of Rainforest Brown comes from its bold burgundy, gray and tan veins. These patterns and shades streak over a charcoal gray top. Varying shades of gray and brown soften the dramatic pattern, and the slab has a very natural look. Many people even say that the overall look of this remarkable stone reminds them on the Amazon Rainforest. Brown Rainforest granite countertop will always appear in a tree branch type pattern. It gives a kitchen a natural, even exotic feel. If you want a subtle countertop, choose a quieter stone, because Rainforest Brown is bold.

Rainforest Brown Granite maintenance

For some, the beauty of the kitchen countertops will be the most important factor when choosing the right type for a kitchen. For others, nothing will beat the durability and ease of maintenance. Rainforest Brown Granite meets both requirements. Although you’ll find this brown granite sold as Rainforest Brown Marble in some places in US, don’t let this worry you. As we explained previously, this stone is actually serpentinite. It is much stronger than marble.
