Lately, the demand for white colored granite has increased. It may be its rare and elegant look, which can brighten up any kitchen or bathroom, just with its amazing color. You may be thinking white is white, but there are so many white granite colors to choose from.
Super White
This rare granite is only found in one quarry in Brazil. It has been described as resembling an “icy Arctic ocean.” Only in the United States is the name Super White Granite used, as the rest of the world calls it by its proper name; Super White Quartzite. This white granite is very rare resulting in an expensive price tag. It comes in shades varying from bright white to a very subtle beige or gray color. Once sealed and polished, Super White Granite is absolutely breathtaking.

Bianco Romano
Like the Super White Granite, Bianco Romano comes from a quarry in Brazil. Typically white, with gray or brown veins and bits of red garnet, this is an amazing looking stone, perfect for brightening up an elegant kitchen or bath. Especially hard, Blanco Romano is great for outdoor use as well. Being so light in color, it stays cooler in the summertime. Bianco Romano has many aliases such as; Blanco Romano, Bianca Romano, White Romano, Nova Branco Romano, Tropical White, and Pashmina. Depending on what fabricator you use, this beautiful granite may be called one of these.

Ivory Fantasy
Quarried in India, Ivory Fantasy granite is a great alternative if you want a light color for your countertops but want it a little more subdued. Coming in an Ivory color with grayish veins, Ivory Fantasy is beautifully polished. This color granite may limit your color scheme a little more than a bright white granite would, but if you fall in love with it, it’ll make your kitchen or bath the talk of the neighborhood.

Alaskan White
This exotic granite is quarried out of Brazil. It gets its name from the white coloring with beige or brown veins that resemble an Alaskan mountaintop. Variations in color go from bright, pure white to beige. Some slabs also contain light catching pieces of greyish Quartz. This granite is more expensive than most but is unique and well worth the investment.

White Fantasy
As Ivory Fantasy, White Fantasy Granite is quarried in India. This beautiful, truly white granite, contains gray and almost black veins. This allows for a stark contrast and will flow with many color schemes. When it is beautifully polished, the shine really catches the eye. White Fantasy gives your kitchen a bright, clean appearance.
All white granite is rare and expensive, as most imported things are. However, if you are really wanting a marble look without the extra care marble requires or something more durable, white granites can accomplish this for you. It is always best to directly choose your slab or acquire many samples to be sure the colors do not vary, hence coming from the same side of the quarry. Installed and maintained properly, your white granite countertops are a great investment, as they have the ability to outlast you.
