Sukabumi Green Stone

A dense, low-porosity green stone quarried in Sukabumi, West Java. It is the material most specified for luxury swimming pools in tropical architecture because of the way it renders water a natural emerald green without any dye or pigment.

The pool stone that turns water emerald green.

Sukabumi Green Stone is a fine-grained volcanic stone quarried in the highlands of Sukabumi Regency, West Java. Its reputation in international architecture rests on one property: submerged under water, its mineral green reads as a deep, living emerald that no ceramic glaze reproduces convincingly.

Beyond appearance, it is specified because it performs. The stone has low water absorption for a natural material, holds its colour under sustained UV exposure, and stays comfortable underfoot in direct tropical sun — a practical consideration on pool decks in the Gulf, the Maldives and Northern Australia.

We supply Sukabumi Green Stone as pool tile, pool coping, wall cladding, mosaic and custom-cut panels. Because the stone varies naturally between quarry blocks, we blend and inspect per container so that a single project receives a consistent tonal range rather than a mix of unrelated batches.

Questions

Sukabumi Green Stone — FAQ

The stone's own mineral colour is read through the water column rather than reflected off a glaze. Because the colour sits in the material rather than on its surface, it deepens with water depth — shallow steps read soft sage, the deep end reads emerald. No pigment, dye or coating is involved.

Yes. It is used in both. We recommend a breathable penetrating sealer for salt-water systems and normal pool-water chemistry management. Avoid strong acid cleaners, which etch most natural stone.

For pool walls and floors 10–15 mm is standard. For coping, steps and any edge that takes load or impact, specify 20–30 mm. Send us the pool drawing and we will mark up a thickness schedule with the quotation.

Natural variation between blocks is part of the material. We grade per container and can supply a control sample set so the tonal range is agreed before production begins.
