Larvik Granite: Norwegian Larvikite for Paving, Architecture and Urban Projects

Traditional Norwegian Granite

The Norwegian Family Member, Larvik Granite, operates six quarries in the towns of Larvik and Egersund, where some of the most exclusive natural stones in the world are extracted. From these quarries come five unique materials in shades of blue, green, gray, and brown – all quarried with passion and care, and of the highest quality.

At the heart of Larvik Granite’s range is Larvikite, Norway’s national stone. Formed by volcanic activity nearly 300 million years ago, Larvikite is renowned for its enchanting large, shimmering blue feldspar crystals. These crystals reveal themselves in different ways: the luxurious dark blue of Blue Pearl, the bright silver tones of Silver Pearl, the elegant dark green backdrop of Emerald Pearl, and the warm brown character of Blue Antique.

Every block extracted at Larvik Granite is individually registered and subject to a structured quality control process. Dedicated on-site teams assess each block against strict dimensional and material standards before it leaves the quarry. That consistency at source is what makes it possible to apply demanding surface treatments with reliable, repeatable results.

At Brachot, these blocks are processed into finished paving and architectural products across a range of proprietary finishes. Flaming causes controlled surface fracturing through thermal shock, creating a naturally rough, slip-resistant texture. Arenado uses high-speed particle impact to produce a fine-grained, tactile surface without altering the stone's visual character. Anzano delivers a slightly open finish — less coarse than arenado, but with a distinctly natural feel underfoot. Each finish responds differently to Larvikite's feldspar crystal structure, which means the same material reads differently depending on the treatment applied.

Situated in the towns of Larvik and Egersund, our main products are from the Larvikite range, also known as Labrador. Larvik Granite fully owns 6 quarries where different colours of the world-famous natural stone Labradorite are quarried: Blue Pearl, Emerald Pearl, Blue Antique and Silver Pearl. 

Founded in 1987, Larvik Granite has grown into one of Norway's most successful natural stone suppliers, operating six quarries across the Larvik and Egersund regions. From the outset, the company has invested in advanced quarrying and processing technology to maximise both yield and block quality. Wire-cutting equipment, modern lifting systems and precision measurement tools are standard across all sites. The result is a reliable supply chain with high production volumes, making Larvik Granite a dependable source for large international paving and architecture projects. 

Behind that supply chain is a team of quarry specialists with decades of hands-on experience in Larvikite extraction, knowledge that no automated system replaces.

Just like quality and safety, sustainable entrepreneurship is part of our daily business and forms a common thread in our operations trying to minimise the impact on the environment. Before entering new areas, comprehensive Landscape Restoration Plans are very well stipulated. An example is our Silver Pearl quarry where we are already planting trees and shrubs on the mountain of earth we create by mining. The local residents are happy too, as this blocks the view of the quarry itself.

All quarrying and processing operations follow strict environmental and legislative protocols. Dust and noise levels are actively monitored and controlled on every site. Water management is handled through a closed-loop recirculation system. Water used in wire-cutting is collected, filtered and reused rather than discharged. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are also available for our materials, providing transparent insight into their environmental performance.
