Olive Green

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

Olive Green is a distinctive green granite with an olive-to-forest base and darker mineral movement that can read as soft linear veining. It delivers a strong, premium look with a natural, organic character—excellent for B2B programs that need a recognizable green tone and reliable outdoor performance.

Visual Character (Color & Pattern)

Tone: olive green / deep forest green

Pattern activity: medium; darker mineral movement, often directional

Texture: fine to medium grain; reads rich on polished faces

Finishing Behavior

Polished / Gloss: deeper, richer green with higher contrast; best for primary monument faces

Honed / Matte (if specified): calmer, more architectural look; reduced glare; movement appears softer—good for bases/sides

Engraving & Readability

Recommended: polished inscription fields for crisp lettering and portrait work

If movement is directional, plan layout so portraits and key text zones sit on calmer areas

Recommended Applications (Memorial / B2B)

Uprights, slants, ledgers, bases, multi-piece sets, architectural-style monuments

Ideal for programs where a premium green tone is a selling point

Why It Works for Partners (B2B)

Recognizable green palette: differentiates the catalog from standard blacks/greys

Showroom value: polished green looks premium and photographs well

Repeat-program friendly: manageable movement when lot selection is controlled
