Mining and processing · Bahia · Brazil
The earth took millions of years to create it. We take it to the world.
San Giorgio Crystal, extracted from one of the largest crystal quarries in Brazil. Transformed into floors, walls, countertops and projects that are never forgotten.
Origin
From the heart of Bahia to the most exclusive projects in the world.
In the countryside of Bahia, in one of the largest known deposits of high purity quartz, nature guarded for millions of years a crystal of exceptional character. São Jorge Group exists to reveal this material to the world, with the scale the market needs and the exclusivity the project deserves.
Volume with exclusivity. That is a promise only those who own the quarry can make.
The Quarry
One of the largest crystal reserves in Brazil. Our own quarry.

CONTINUOUS OPERATION WITH LONG TERM SUPPLY CAPACITY
The Stone
Light passes through. Hardness remains.
San Giorgio Crystal is a quartz of exceptional purity, with natural brilliance and a translucent character that no man made material can reproduce. When light passes through it, it comes alive: it reveals layers, textures and nuances that change as the day goes by.
TRANSLUCENCY
Backlit, the crystal transforms. The slab becomes light. The space gains depth and presence.
HARDNESS
A quartzite body: strength for floors, walls and countertops in daily use. Beauty that is not fragile.
EXCLUSIVITY
Our own quarry of a material found nowhere else. Each slab is a piece nature will never repeat.
Not just a stone. A material that tells stories with light.
Applications
From slab to project. From project to experience.
Floors
The vein of San Giorgio Crystal runs through the space as one continuous surface. Each slab is unique, and the whole reads as a single stone. The floor stops being a base and becomes the protagonist.
