Verde Antigua is a fine, sophisticated and classic serpentinite rock / serpentine marble quarried in Iran’s renowned stone basins. Highly appreciated in high-end interior architecture and international interior design for the delicacy of its veined design and harmonious cismatic saturation, it constitutes an ornamental material of marked elegance.
Visually, it is characterised by a soft and enveloping background matrix in shades of jade green, sage green and light olive green, densely crossed by an intertwining of veins and clouds in shades of white lime, ivory, mint and slight grey-anthracite shades. The uniform yet dynamic texture gives surfaces a deep sense of natural balance and brightness.
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 chlorite micro-inclusions). As a material with a mixed silicate-carbonate composition, it has a moderate sensitivity to aggressive food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine or anti-limescale detergents), which can cause surface opacifications on the limestone components if not adequately treated. It boasts medium-high hardness (Mohs scale 4-4.5), excellent compactness and a low water absorption rate. The slabs are usually resinized and screened on the verso to ensure maximum structural stability during handling.
– premium flooring and interior coverings: an excellent choice for state floors, hotel lobbies, private suites, and floor-to-ceiling wall coverings.
– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: widely used for designer bath room coverings, shower walls and vanity tops (after appropriate protective water-oil-repellent sealing).
– bookmatch compositions: the thin and uniform veined texture allows for highly refined mirrored creations for scenic backdrops.
– elite furniture and inlays: Used for table tops, console tables, fireplace surrounds, thresholds, and custom stone inlay details.
