G603 (Sesame White)

Origin: China
Material: Natural granite (dense, exterior grade)

G603 is a light grey “program” granite known for its clean, uniform look and production-friendly consistency. It is widely used in memorial manufacturing where stable color, repeatability, and reliable outdoor performance are required.

Visual Character (Color & Pattern)

Tone: Light grey / silver-grey

Pattern activity: Low; fine, even salt-and-pepper speckling

Texture: Fine grain; reads clean on large faces

Finishing Behavior

Polished / Gloss: Bright, crisp appearance; strong contrast for dark lettering

Honed / Matte (if specified): Softer, architectural look; reduced glare for bases/sides

Engraving & Readability

Recommended: Polished inscription areas for maximum contrast and clean laser/etch results

Fine grain supports sharp edges and consistent detail across repeated runs

Recommended Applications (Memorial / B2B)

Uprights, slants, ledgers, bases, multi-piece sets

Strong option for light/grey programs where consistency and value matter

Why It Works for Partners (B2B)

Program reliability: repeatable look for catalog models

Production-friendly: stable grain supports standard tooling and finishing

Broad market fit: neutral grey works across designs and bronze/laser layouts

Quality & Matching Notes

Natural variation is usually low, but shade and speckle density can shift slightly by lot.

For matched sets / repeat orders: request the same block/lot to keep tone uniform.
