Originating in the interior of Ceará, in the municipality of Mombaça, Madeirus comes from one of Brazil’s oldest and most fascinating geological regions: the Borborema Province.
Its history began nearly 1 billion years ago, when intense tectonic events associated with the formation of the Gondwana supercontinent profoundly transformed the region’s rocks. Under high pressures and temperatures, these processes gave rise to a unique metamorphic stone distinguished by strength, intense luster, and natural beauty.
Geologically classified as an amphibolite, Madeirus is composed mainly of amphibole and plagioclase, the minerals responsible for its striking greenish-brown tones. Feldspar, quartz, biotite, and titanite complement its composition, adding mineral richness and an intense vitreous luster.
Finish: Polished, brushed, honed, sandblasted, and others.
Applications: Commercial and residential, interiors and exteriors, walls, countertops, floors, panels, tables, kitchens, partitions, bathrooms, and general decorative applications.
