The Verde Antico d’Oriente is a refined, classic and elegant serpentinite rock / serpentine marble quarried in the renowned stone basins of Iran. Appreciated in luxury interior architecture and high-end interior design for the harmonious balance between the depth of the background and the delicacy of its veiny interweaving, it represents an ornamental material of marked aesthetic and decorative value.
Visually, it stands out for an elegant background matrix in shades of jade green, forest green and sage green, capillarily furrowed and embellished with a dense texture of veins, flaming and cloudiness in shades of white lime, ivory, mint green and slight anthracite shades. The well-balanced color contrast gives the surfaces a fluid, harmonious and enveloping texture.
Geologically it is classified as a silicate-carbonate serpentinite / serpentine marble (metamorphic rock consisting mainly of serpentine group minerals such as antigorite and lizardite, with the presence of recrystallized calcite and micro-inclusions of chlorite and magnetite). Being a mixed composition material, it has a moderate sensitivity to aggressive food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine or anti-limescale), which can cause clouding or surface aggression on the limestone components if left untreated. It boasts a medium-high hardness (Mohs scale 4–4.5), excellent compactness and a low water absorption rate. Slabs intended for furniture projects are commonly resinized and reinforced with fiberglass back mesh to optimize their structural stability.
– high-quality flooring and interior cladding: widely used for flooring in salons, hotel lobbies, wall panels, and vertical cladding of high aesthetic value.
– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: ideal for upholstery of designer bath rooms, shower trays and vanity tops (subject to appropriate protective water-oil-repellent sealing).
– bookmatch compositions: the wavy and elegant shape of the veins lends itself exceptionally to mirrored poses on accent walls.
– luxury furnishings and accessories: used for table tops, entrance consoles, ornamental fireplaces, thresholds and fine stone inlays.
