With white kitchens and interiors trending, many homeowners and designers are turning to granite in lighter colors. When looking at paler granite options, you’ll want to check out stunning Monte Cristo granite.

This material comes from India, often from the Udaipur and Rajasthan regions. Also known as Monte Kristo or Monte Cristo Bianco granite, it has a pearly white background with streaks of jet and sometimes green throughout. The effect can be delicate or dramatic, but it’s always eye-catching.

Key Features of Monte Cristo Granite

Designers and homeowners love the benefits of Monte Cristo granite, which include:

  • Durability: Monte Cristo granite is resistant to stains, water absorption, scratches, and heat. This hard natural material can stand up to a great deal, making it ideal even for outdoor applications.
  • Consistency: The colors in Monte Cristo granite stay pretty consistent, which makes this material great for large slab projects.
  • Movement: While colors stay consistent, Monte Cristo also offers lots of movement and sweeping linear patterns which make it stand out when compared to other granite and even marble.
