In modern architectural design, choosing a light-colored natural stone that offers both visual cleanliness and absolute structural durability is essential.
Zahedan White Granite, quarried in the eastern Sistan and Baluchestan province of Iran, is one of the most prestigious and recognizable light granites.
Known in the market as "Cotton-Flower Granite," it features a bright white-to-light-grey base adorned with evenly distributed black and grey speckles.
Unlike other light granites that are prone to staining or moisture discoloration, Zahedan Granite has a dense quartz crystalline matrix that resists absorption.
This mineral composition, dominated by quartz and high-quality white feldspar, grants the stone its outstanding mechanical strength and longevity.
Its homogeneous patterns make it an exceptional candidate for large-scale flooring, stairs, and premium commercial facades.
Whether utilized in heavy-traffic corporate lobbies, government plazas, or luxury exterior cladding, Zahedan Granite remains a symbol of durability.
Geologically, this igneous rock was formed deep within the earth's crust, where magma cooled slowly under intense pressure.
This slow cooling process allowed the mineral crystals to grow and interlock tightly, eliminating internal voids and porosity.
As a result, the stone exhibits extreme resistance to acid rain, solar UV degradation, and sudden thermal cycles.
SherkatStone works closely with the leading quarries in Zahedan to select premium, crack-free blocks of the highest color consistency.
Our strict block selection process minimizes shade variations across slabs and ensures superior processing results.
The commercial value of Zahedan Granite is heavily dependent on the clarity of its white background and the absence of dark mineral patches.
Our quality control inspectors supervise the extraction and processing lines to evaluate these key parameters:
Thanks to its outstanding physical properties, Zahedan White Granite is suitable for both demanding indoor and outdoor layouts:
The primary B2B application areas include:
Architects favor this light granite for its ability to reflect light and create spacious, bright interior atmospheres.
The near-zero water absorption index prevents frost damage, making it highly reliable in freezing northern climates.
Furthermore, the stone's high density allows it to be processed into large-format thin tiles without compromising strength.
At SherkatStone, we specialize in coordinating wholesale export shipments of Zahedan Granite directly from the processing source.
Our long-term quarry relationships allow us to guarantee bulk quantities and a stable supply for multi-phase projects.
We process the selected blocks using high-capacity gang saws and multi-head polishing lines to achieve maximum flatness.
Our quality control inspectors verify every order before container loading, ensuring all specifications are met.
We manage the entire supply chain from the remote quarry sites to the destination port, mitigating transport risks.
Al aliyers receive comprehensive documentation, including detailed packing lists, certificates of origin, and test reports.
Depending on your project requirements, we sort materials into Super, Premium, and Standard commercial grades.
Our experienced B2B team handles all custom clearance procedures at the origin port to ensure swift shipping times.
Zahedan White Granite is tested according to ASTM international standards to guarantee its structural performance:
| Physical Property | Testing Method | Measured Value |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk Specific Gravity (Density) | ASTM C97 | 2.64 g/cm³ |
| Water Absorption | ASTM C97 | 0.24% |
| Compressive Strength (Dry) | ASTM C170 | 118 MPa |
| Compressive Strength (Wet) | ASTM C170 | 102 MPa |
| Modulus of Rupture | ASTM C99 | 11.6 MPa |
| Abrasion Resistance | ASTM C241 | 21.8 Ha |
To accommodate diverse architectural needs, we supply Zahedan Granite in various commercial formats:
Our state-of-the-art CNC processing machines ensure perfect right angles and dimensional accuracy for easy installation.
The look and texture of Zahedan White Granite can be modified using different industrial finishing techniques:
We also offer sandblasted, bush-hammered, and antiqued surface finishes upon request for specific exterior projects.
As a light-colored natural granite, Zahedan White Granite requires simple yet regular maintenance to preserve its look:
Safe transportation of heavy stone blocks and tiles requires specialized packing to eliminate transit damage:
We deliver Zahedan White Granite to construction sites worldwide through coordinated sea and road transit networks:
The quarries are located near the city of Zahedan in southeastern Iran, known for producing high-quality white igneous stones.
The texture is created by the crystallization of quartz, feldspar, and small biotite grains during the magma cooling phase.
Yes, its low water absorption rate (0.24%) prevents frost expansion, making it highly suitable for cold climates.
The typical lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from deposit confirmation to container dispatch at the loading port.
Yes, we can cut custom slabs up to 50mm or 80mm thickness for heavy-duty paving or monuments upon request.
Our inspectors measure thickness tolerances, surface gloss, check for micro-cracks, and review color consistency.
Yes, we welcome third-party inspectors from international testing firms like SGS or Bureau Veritas to verify the order.
The minimum B2B order quantity is one 20ft container, which accommodates approximately 350-400 square meters of 20mm slabs.
No, its high quartz and feldspar content is extremely stable under UV light, ensuring it will not yellow over time.
Slabs are firmly lashed to certified frames, and the container is blocked with heavy timbers and steel wires.
Due to its highly uniform and fine-grained texture, it is not used for bookmatching, but rather for seamless layouts.
Yes, we ship small physical samples worldwide via express couriers (DHL/FedEx) for project approval processes.
We recommend a premium solvent-based fluorocarbon sealer designed to protect dense, light-colored granites from oils.
A polished finish is ideal for lobbies as it reflects light, creating a bright and premium atmosphere.
We extract and process slabs from consecutive quarry blocks, grouping them strictly to eliminate visual boundaries.
