G614 (Padang Light variety)

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

G614 is a clean, fine-grained grey granite used as a stable “program grey” for memorial production. It reads neutral and balanced, supports repeatable runs, and keeps a formal, calm appearance across different monument forms.

Visual Character (Color & Pattern)

Tone: Mid-grey / cool grey

Pattern activity: Low; even “salt-and-pepper” grain

Texture: Fine grain; reads uniform on large faces

Finishing Behavior

Polished / Gloss: Brighter grain definition; strong contrast for lettering

Honed / Matte (if specified): Softer, more architectural grey; reduced glare

Engraving & Readability

Best results on polished inscription fields for crisp lettering and portraits

Uniform grain helps maintain consistent contrast across large text zones

Recommended Applications (Memorial / B2B)

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

Reliable choice for mid-tone grey programs where a neutral palette is required

Why It Works for Partners (B2B)

Program stability: consistent visual character for repeat orders

Production-friendly: predictable grain supports layout planning and batching

Broad market fit: neutral grey works across many design styles

Technical Data (supplier / referenced data)

Mohs hardness: 6–7 (typical for granite programs; confirm by supplier)

Density: 2.6–2.7 g/cm³ (typical for granite programs; confirm by supplier)

Water absorption: 0.15–0.35% (as reported for Padang Light family; G614 is listed as a variety)

Frost resistance: N/D

Heat resistance: N/D

Acid resistance: N/D

Re-polishing: Yes (standard for granite programs; confirm by supplier)

Abrasion / wear (index/value): N/D; confirm if required by project spec.

Quality & Matching Notes

Natural variation: minor shifts in grain density and grey tone by lot

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