Mascarello Granite: Exotic Beauty from Brazil

Mascarello granite is a bold beautiful mix of browns, vibrant gold and soft cream colors with splashes of black. The beauty of this natural stone is really brought out by the dramatic patterns and accented by flecks of silver. Over the course of millions of years, the iron oxides have oxidized, producing the vivid golds and browns.
Mascarello granite comes from the quarries Espirito Santo, which is a state in Brazil. Presently, Brazil is ranked third in the world in granite exports. In 2014 more than 50% of the granite imported into the United States came from Brazil. Brazilian granite is expected to increase in worldwide natural stone market share. This is due to the expanding focus on producing a more finished product and more efficient processes.
Mascarello slabs are often book-matched. Book-matched slabs are cut and polished in sequence, to provide a continual flow of the natural pattern of the stone. Book-matched slabs are mirror images of each other. This is a good article on bookmatching for inquisitive minds. During the polishing process Epoxy resin is used, to fill small pits, cracks and fissures the stone may have, however, the stone is not weakened by the process. The polishing is done with various grades of metal plates and bricks of silicon carbide, ultimately producing the glass-like finish we normally associate with granite countertops. In some instances, however, it is desired to leave the stone more course and less polished.

Mascarello Granite: Care and Maintenance

Since granite is a natural stone, and should be sealed. The sealant does not provide an impenetrable barrier on the surface of the stone, it is more of protection against staining. Granite can be sealed with a high-quality penetrating sealant. Incidentally, day to day cleanup is a breeze, simply use mild soap and water on a sponge then rinse. Light buffing with a soft rag will make your Mascarello countertop dazzle.

I was blown away by the professionalism, speed and hard work of Adam, Gonzo and Julio. They did an amazing job on my kitchen countertops! The attention to detail was incredible. I can’t even tell where a single seam is in my Quartz. I would highly recommend these guys and Superior Granite to anyone. The best experience of any contractor I’ve had work in my home. From initial design to installation, the whole process was a breeze! The communication was the best I’ve seen of any contractor. Will definitely be using Superior Granite when I remodel my bathrooms very soon.

We absolutely love our new countertops! Superior Granite has been super friendly and professional since the moment we walked through their doors in the Pace, FL location. Sarah was AMAZING! She is very knowledgeable about all of the different types of stone and always kept us in our budget. She never missed a beat when it came to my wife wanting to look at 30 types of countertops on multiple occasions. Go see Sarah, you won't regret it.


Chad, Thomas and Trey were our install crew and they were great as well. It was a very easy process and they treated our home with the upmost respect. Thanks guys! We will be repeat Customer with Sarah and her team at Superior Granite.

There are not enough words to describe my incredible experience at Superior Granite!! From my initial inquiring phone call, to seeing my new counters installed, the customer service was incredible! After a bad experience with a local granite business I posted to my facebook friends to please refer a reputable granite dealer, within minutes I received at least ten referrals to Superior Granite!! Everyone said, “You’ve got to go to Superior!” From looking at samples with India, to digitally mapping my kitchen with Mike (who also ultimately guided me in which granite would look best), to final selection day with Wally (who also sent me pictures during the counter cutting process), I was treated with the best customer service I have had in ages!!! So if you ask me….. You’ve got to go to Superior!!!! Thank you Superior Granite for making the upgrade seamless, affordable, and unexpectedly… FUN!!!!!

– George M.

Had the pleasure of watching these guys install granite in our house today. Hard working and conscientious handling tremendously heavy pieces. You guys rocked it - Marcus, Shane, Henry, Edger and Brian. Beautiful quartzite and quartz. The sales lady was also very helpful in guiding us through the process. Definitely recommend if you are in the market!
