Green Marble or Sukabumi Green Stone? Know Before You Buy
How green marble, green granite and Sukabumi green stone differ, and what each is used for.
Quick answer
Green marble and green granite are different stones from Sukabumi green stone. Sukabumi green stone is a quartzite (zeolite) sold honed or sawn cut, and we list it for swimming pools, water features, spa areas and wet areas.
What Is Green Marble?
It is a calcium-based stone that is often polished and used for interior floors, walls and decoration. Its green colour comes from minerals in the stone, and veining is common.
General advice: Marble reacts to acids and can mark or dull, so ask any supplier how a marble should be cleaned and sealed before you choose it for a wet area.
What Is Green Granite?
Green granite is a hard igneous stone with a speckled grain. It is used for countertops, paving and facades. Like marble, its colour is set by the minerals it contains.
What Is Sukabumi Green Stone?
Sukabumi green stone, also known as Bali green stone, is a quartzite from Indonesia. It has a natural green colour and contains zeolite. We list it for swimming pools, water features, spa and wellness areas and wet areas, and describe it as naturally anti-slip, weather resistant and low in water absorption.
| Stone | Type | Colour | Finishes | Standard sizes | Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sukabumi Green Stone | Quartzite (Zeolite) | Green, Crystal Green | Honed, Sawn Cut | 10x10, 10x20, 15x15, 20x20 cm | 1-1.3 cm (tiles), 2-3 cm (pavers) |
Green Marble and Green Granite Compared With Sukabumi Green Stone
The three stones can look similar in a photo, but they are not the same material:
| Stone | Type | Common use | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green marble | Calcium-based, metamorphic | Interior floors, walls, decoration | Cleaning, sealing and acid contact |
| Green granite | Igneous, hard-grained | Countertops, paving, facades | Colour range and slab size |
| Sukabumi green stone | Quartzite (zeolite) | Pools, water features, spa and wet areas | Finish, tile size and thickness |
Sukabumi green stone is not marble and not granite. If a supplier offers you a green stone, ask for its stone type, not only its colour.
Which One for a Pool or Wet Area?
For a pool, spa or wet area, start from how the surface will be used: grip underfoot, contact with water and weather. Sukabumi green stone is listed for exactly these uses, in honed or sawn cut finish.
General advice: Whatever stone you pick, approve a sample wet and dry, and ask your installer which finish gives the grip you need.
