From Arctic Bedrock to Global Industries – Greenlandic Anorthite for Fiberglass, Insulation, Paint, and Ceramics

Supplying the World with High-Quality Anorthosite

Lumina extracts and processes anorthite — the purest, most calcium-rich form of the aluminium-rich rock anorthosite — at Qaqortorsuaq in Western Greenland. It is a naturally occurring mineral, and it goes into fibreglass, paint, paper, ceramics and glass.

Our mission is to supply a material with a low carbon footprint in support of the global green transition.

Anorthosite belongs to a mineral group classified by the EU as a critical raw material.
