One of Turkey’s most renowned natural stones, Elazığ Cherry, with its deep burgundy color, white veins, and brecciated texture, is a favorite for prestigious projects both domestically and internationally. Known locally as “Elazığ Red” or “Rosso Levanto” in international markets, this stone was once a common material used in village homes and garden walls until the 1970s. Today, it has found its way into a wide range of applications, from luxury hotels to fashion houses.
Elazığ Cherry is primarily extracted from quarries in the Alacakaya (Guleman) district and surrounding areas. Its color derives from the volcanic rocks and iron minerals such as hematite found in the region. Geologically classified as part of the “ophicalcite” group, this stone is a natural work of art shaped by hydrothermal fluids and tectonic processes over millions of years.
Notable for its physical durability and ease of processing, Elazığ Cherry is preferred for interior and exterior cladding, stair treads, kitchen countertops, monuments, sculptures, and decorative objects. Its water- and moisture-resistant structure makes it ideal for bathroom and sink applications.
Today, Elazığ Cherry is used in world-renowned structures such as the Presidential Complex (Turkey), the White House (USA), the Kaaba (Saudi Arabia), Burj Khalifa, and Palm Islands (Dubai), thereby establishing its name on a global scale.
With nearly half a century of commercial history, Elazığ Cherry is not just a building material; it is a powerful brand reflecting Turkey’s natural stone heritage. It continues to symbolize elegance with its burgundy tones and sophistication with its white veins.
