Red Aswan granite characteristics

Red Aswan granite is a warm red-to-pink Egyptian granite quarried in the Aswan region of southern Egypt, the same stone used in ancient monuments and obelisks. It is a hard igneous granite of interlocking pink-red feldspar, grey quartz and dark mica, which gives it its rich speckled red colour. The dense crystal structure delivers high strength, very low porosity and outstanding durability, making Red Aswan both a striking and a hard-wearing natural stone.

Properties and finishes of Red Aswan granite

Red Aswan granite rates around 6 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, so it resists scratching, heat, frost and abrasion, and its low porosity makes it easy to seal against stains. We supply it polished, which deepens the red and brings out the crystal flecks, honed for a soft matte look, and flamed for a textured, slip-resistant surface on floors and paving. Red Aswan is a flagship colour in our wider Egyptian granite range of slabs, tiles and cut-to-size.
