Maslavske granite

Digitised rock sample from a research source. This is a research scan of a sample, not a photograph of our batch: the actual appearance is confirmed with a physical sample.

In short

Maslavske granite is olive-green and graphite tones. Maslavske Verde Oliva is a medium-grained granite in olive-green and graphite tones. Its restrained palette suits modern façades, interiors and landscaping without adding decorative noise.

The illustration on the stone-types page is a digitised surface of a research sample, not a photograph of a NIKA GRAN batch. It conveys the character of the tone but does not replace approval of a physical sample.

Specifications

Parameter	Description
Colour	olive-green and graphite tones
Finish and grain	medium grain with a calm, restrained pattern
Typical use	worktops, façades, landscaping, steps
Finishes	polished, honed, thermal
Maintenance	Regular cleaning with neutral, non-abrasive products; the exact chemistry and cleaning frequency are agreed for the finish and the location.

Where it is used

The material is chosen for its calm green tone, which works both indoors and outdoors. It is usually considered for:

worktops and work surfaces, where edges and cut-outs are approved separately
façades and external cladding
landscaping elements and paving
steps and entrance areas

Products made from this stone are collected in the catalogue: Maslavske granite products. Format, thickness and finish are confirmed for the specific project.

What to consider

An olive-green tone easily shifts on screen. Decisions are made from a physical sample rather than a digital image.

The research image is not a photograph of a NIKA GRAN batch and does not confirm provenance.
Colour and grain vary naturally, so the permitted range is recorded in the specification.
For worktops, edges, cut-outs and cleaner compatibility are approved separately.
Format, thickness and finish are defined before production starts.
For large areas, review several units under neutral lighting.

Suitability of a specific format for outdoor conditions is checked against the project: a material name does not replace the technical brief.

Physical and mechanical properties

Property	Value	Source
Density	2,690–2,760 kg/m³; typical 2,710 kg/m³	ZSTU course notes, Maslavske deposit (2.69–2.76 g/cm³); kameniv.com.ua, Verde Oliva (2,710 kg/m³); ukr.granite.ua, Verde Oliva (bulk weight 2,710 kg/m³)
Water absorption	0.15 %	ZSTU course notes, Maslavske deposit (0.15 %); kameniv.com.ua (0.15 %); ukr.granite.ua (0.15 %)
Compressive strength	100–140 MPa (ZSTU) or 255 MPa (manufacturer specification)	ZSTU course notes (100–140 MPa); kameniv.com.ua and ukr.granite.ua (255 MPa)
Abrasion	0.43–0.51 g/cm²	ZSTU course notes (0.43–0.51 g/cm²); kameniv.com.ua and ukr.granite.ua (0.50 g/cm²)
Radiation safety class	Class 1 (any type of construction permitted)	ukr.granite.ua, page 'Maslavske granite (Verde Oliva)', section 'Physical and mechanical data'
Mineral composition	microcline-perthite 35–60 %, plagioclase 14–36 %, quartz 18–30 %, biotite 1–6 %, hornblende 1–8 %	ZSTU course notes, Maslavske granite deposit (Verde Oliva)

The original density report (calculator.md) had no data for the Maslavske deposit; it is added here from the ZSTU course notes and manufacturer specifications (kameniv.com.ua, ukr.granite.ua — trade name Verde Oliva). The values are typical/reference; note the large strength gap (100–140 MPa per ZSTU versus 255 MPa per the manufacturer) — the actual figure is confirmed by the batch certificate.
