Its name came from the resemblance to a popular Coconut Candy in Brazil called Cocada, which resembles the design of the candy but with a blue color.

Formed mainly by Quartz and Sericite minerals, with cyanite that gives the bluish coloration to this rock considered Tectonic Breccia.

Type: TECTONIC BRECCIA /QUARTZITE
About
One of the rarest and most exotic stones in the world, with its pastel tones of a blue background and light beige and gray formations, compose this mixture of bold colors of this magnificent material, which was formed in a fault for thousands of years called the tectonic breccia.
Composition
Surface Finishings
Polished
It is the “shiny” surface that results in the plate when receiving the complete finish, that is, until the last grain. Depending on its composition, the polished material may have a higher or lower brightness intensity.
Brushed
It is the resultant surface in the sheet when it receives roughing treatment performed by steel brushes or synthetic materials. Different brushing models can be executed, with greater roughness, medium and few.
Soft Leather
It is the resultant surface in the sheet when it receives roughing treatment performed by steel brushes or synthetic materials. Carried out with a brush of low roughness, which gives it a lightly textured look like fabric.
Flamed
It is the resultant surface in the plate when it receives heat treatment (burned with torch specially developed for the function) that takes out small flakes of the same, making the surface slightly irregular producing the impression that it is rustic.
Honed
It is the resultant surface on the sheet when receiving abrasive grinding wheels up to the grain 120. This grain defines the surface finish limit either as anti-slip or even for the application of resin and subsequent polishing.
Leather Finish
It is the resultant surface in the sheet when it receives roughing treatment performed by steel brushes or synthetic materials. Depending on the type of brushes used you can still reproduce in some materials a surface with a design similar to natural leather.
