Verde Acceglio - green marble of natural origin

Technical characteristics of Green Acceglio

Geologically it is classified as a serpentinite / silicate metamorphic rock (originating from the metamorphism of Alpine peridotites, composed mainly of serpentine group minerals such as antigorite, lizardite and chrysotile, with the presence of magnetite, chlorite and sporadic veins of recrystallized calcite). Since it is a predominantly silicate matrix material, it has excellent resistance to dilute acids and common detergents, proving immensely more stable and durable than classic carbonate marbles (although it is recommended to avoid prolonged contact with industrial acids concentrated on the calcareous micro-veins).

Applications in design

– high-quality flooring and cladding: used for internal and external flooring, representative lobbies, walkways and facade cladding thanks to its total frostiness and high mechanical resistance.

– bathroom, SPA, and vanity top environments: ideal for vanity tops, custom shower trays, and spa coverings, infusing a natural, deep, and enveloping atmosphere.

– kitchen tops and countertops: successfully used for kitchen tops and furniture counters thanks to its good chemical-mechanical stability and heat resistance.

– furnishing elements and architectural restoration: widely used for the creation of thresholds, window surrounds, ornamental fireplaces, state stairs and valuable stone inlays.
