Rose de la Clarté Granite Quarry
Rose de la Clarté is a coarse-grained pink-red granite. Rose de la Clarté occurs in a lighter and a darker tint, typified by black and white specks on a pink background. This pink granite is mainly used in the funeral and monuments sector, and also in road construction.
A French granite with a rich history
Since 1976, the quarry has been extracting Rose de la Clarté natural stone from the Ploumanac’h granite basin. Although this basin has had a rich history of extraction for centuries, there are only two companies still active there today, including SAG, which is owned by Brachot. Its annual sales market is estimated in the region of 3.000 m³, with the Brachot quarries accounting for a good 2.300 m³.
All our Rose de la Clarté quarries, located near Perros-Guirec (Brittany) along the Côtes d'Armor coastline, , are certified by certification body Certipaq. The striking granite extracted from our Brittany-based quarries bears the IG Granit de Bretagne certification, now officially recognised as a Protected Geographical Indication (Indication Géographique Protégée, IGP) across all 27 countries of the European Union.
A showpiece of the region, Rose de la Clarté has become a hallmark of craftsmanship and authenticity. This European recognition confirms both the stone's exceptional quality and the heritage behind its extraction, making it a material with a verified, legally protected origin and a proven track record.
