Rosa Moncão is a coarse-grained Portuguese granite prized for its warm pink and rose tones, given by large potash feldspar megacrystals set in a lighter biotite-bearing groundmass. Quarried in Portugal, this natural stone shows a lively, speckled pattern with a subtle porphyritic movement rather than veining, lending interiors a soft, sun-warmed character. Rosa Moncão is well suited to flooring, wall cladding, kitchen countertops, stairs and outdoor paving, and it responds beautifully to polishing, honing, flaming and bush-hammering. Marmi di Carrara supplies Rosa Moncão granite as blocks, slabs in 2 and 3 cm thicknesses and cut-to-size pieces, with photos of the actual slabs sent before purchase.
Petrographic description
Coarse-grained, porphyritic granite, dominantly biotitic, with a light rosy colour determined by the tonality of the potash feldspar megacrystals; the rock shows a granular hypidiomorphic texture and very slight kaolinitic alteration of the feldspars.
Rosa Moncão is a Granite quarried in Portugal, catalogued in the Marmi di Carrara atlas under the international reference ICPTGR00642. Its dominant tone is pink & rose, with coarse grain and a porphyritic / granular texture.
Like every granite, it is supplied as raw blocks, gangsaw slabs in 2 and 3 cm and cut-to-size pieces made in our Carrara plants. Recommended finishes: polished, honed, flamed, bush-hammered, leathered. Typical applications: kitchen worktops, exterior cladding and paving, stairs, monuments, high-traffic floors.
