Where Volga Blue Slabs Are Used
Volga Blue labradorite is a unique stone quarried from the Golovinsky deposit. It has gained worldwide recognition for its distinctive texture and vibrant iridescence, reminiscent of the Northern Lights.
Ukrainian Labradorite has been used in Italian interiors since the 19th century. This black stone with blue inclusions is also found in the exquisite architecture of London, New York, Paris, Berlin, Rome and many other cities of historical and cultural importance.
Today, GOLOVINSKI produces Volga Blue slabs in thicknesses of 2, 3, 5 and 8 cm. This variety of options allows for the realization of any design concept. Each slab undergoes meticulous processing, resulting in not only exceptional aesthetics but also strength and long-lasting durability.
Where Volga Blue Slabs Are Used
Volga Blue slabs can be used in various applications:
- Indoors. They are suitable for flooring, wall cladding, windowsills, and covering various surfaces (such as countertops). Labradorite is also used to create fireplaces, balusters, columns, statuettes, stands, vases, and small souvenirs.
- Outdoors. Volga Blue is ideal for cladding building facades, staircases, and open terraces. Labradorite is also used to make fountains, barbecues, paving stones, curbs, etc.
Why Choose Volga Blue
Today, labradorite is quarried in different parts of the world. But Volga Blue is considered to be the most beautiful variety of this stone.
In design, the value of a natural material with a prestigious appearance and a rich color palette cannot be overstated. Its background can range from deep black to gray and gray-blue, while the inclusions feature vibrant shades of blue and sky blue.
Due to its coarse-grained structure, the crystals on the surface are highly visible, creating noble reflections in a multicolored palette.
The polished surface of labradorite is distinguished by a unique glossy shine, which is particularly evident on tiles made from Volga Blue.
Labradorite is not just about natural beauty; it’s also about reliability. Products made from Volga Blue are resistant to wear, waterproof, and do not deteriorate under extreme temperature changes. These characteristics are not only natural features of the stone but also the result of proper processing.
Due to its high durability, labradorite is often compared to granite. Products made of Volga Blue are easy to maintain and can last up to two centuries. Moreover, numerous archaeological findings have proven that this is far from the maximum lifespan.
Thus, the story of this unique stone from the Golovinskiy deposit continues. Volga Blue products are used in some of the finest interiors across Europe, Asia, and America, and it’s easy to see why.
