Sukabumi Green Stone Pavers

Sukabumi Green Stone is a natural andesite-based volcanic stone quarried in the Sukabumi Regency of West Java, Indonesia. Its distinctive grey-green colour comes from zeolite and chlorite minerals within the stone, and it is prized worldwide for swimming pool tiles, coping, pavers and cladding because it stays cool underfoot and resists slipping when wet.

It is quarried exclusively in the Sukabumi Regency of West Java, Indonesia, a volcanic region roughly 100km south of Jakarta. The specific mineral composition of this region’s andesite deposits is what produces the stone’s characteristic green-grey tone, which is why genuine Sukabumi Green Stone cannot be sourced elsewhere.

The green-grey hue comes from zeolite, chlorite and other secondary minerals that formed within the andesite as volcanic rock cooled and weathered over geological time. The intensity of the green varies slightly by quarry seam, which is why finish (natural cleft, honed, tumbled) and lighting both affect the perceived shade in photos.

No. Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from recrystallized limestone, while Sukabumi Green Stone is an igneous andesite — a volcanic rock. This matters practically: andesite is significantly harder and less porous than most marbles, which is part of why it performs better in wet, high-traffic pool environments.

Yes. Every piece is cut from quarried natural stone blocks — it is not a manufactured, cast or reconstituted product. Natural variation in colour, veining and texture between pieces is expected and is part of what distinguishes genuine natural stone from porcelain look-alikes.

Mineralogically it is composed primarily of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene within an andesitic groundmass, with zeolite, chlorite and quartz present as secondary minerals that contribute to its green colouration and moderate porosity.
