 There is a stone named Bali Green that is often heard in Bali.

Bali - green tile material. The left side is a thing that took a while after cutting.
The ones on the right and below the center are just cut.
Moss green turns into a bright brown

 




















The color of that stone is Moss Green, which is actually brownish even though it is named Green. The color of this stones are changing from moss green to brown when it is exposed to sunlight.

Bali green is slightly similar texture to the popular stone " Kerobokan".
But the reason why it's not so well-known as a building material is as time goes by,
the color changes from moss green to brown too dramatically.

 


Bali Green are used for stone statue materials for exterior. There are some popular stone statues include statues of Buddha, Ganesha, a goddess with a barrel, etc. 
Sculptures of the Asian atmosphere are popular in Europe and the United States.






















Even though it's named Bali Green, the production area is in the mountains of Central Java.
