Taiwan Green – green marble of natural origin

Taiwan Green is a historically renowned serpentinite rock / serpentine marble quarried in stone basins in Hualien County, Taiwan. Internationally recognized in interior architecture and design for its remarkable compactness and the chromatic-structural richness of its dark green background, it constitutes an ornamental material of high aesthetic value.

Visually, it is distinguished by an intense, deep and well-saturated background matrix in shades of forest green, dark emerald green and pine green, capillarily enriched by a dense and elegant network of micro-grain, speckles and stratifications in shades of light green, lime white, ash grey and black shades.

Technical characteristics of Taiwan Green

Geologically it is classified as a serpentinite / serpentine marble (metamorphic rock consisting mainly of minerals of the serpentine group such as antigorite and lizardite, with the presence of magnetite, diopside and thin veins of calcite). Having a predominantly silicate matrix but with the potential presence of thin recrystallized micro-cracks with a carbonate component, it has a fair general chemical tolerance, but requires caution with concentrated food acids or aggressive detergents to avoid localized opacifications on the calcareous micro-veins. It boasts medium-high hardness (Mohs scale 4–5), excellent structural compactness, an exceptionally low water absorption rate and excellent resistance to abrasion and trampling.

Applications in design

– prestige flooring and siding: widely used for interior flooring, wall siding, executive lobbies, hotel suites and high-traffic decorative inserts.

– bathroom, SPA, and vanity top environments: a top-notch choice for vanity tops, floor-to-ceiling shower liners, and spa elements, creating an elegant and deep atmosphere.

– bookmatch compositions: the presence of the characteristic network of veins lends itself magnificently to mirrored installations on accent walls.

– furnishing elements and stone inlays: used for table tops, console tables, fireplace surrounds, thresholds and high stone cabinetry inlay projects.
