Verde Aver is a valuable, historic and iconic serpentinite / serpentine marble quarried in the stone basins of the Aosta Valley (Italy). Recognized in classical architecture and high-end interior design for the intense depth of its background and the richness of its vein network, it constitutes an Italian ornamental stone of marked aesthetic and structural value.
Visually, it is distinguished by an intense and deep background matrix in shades of dark green, forest and pine, densely crossed and embellished by a network of veins, fibrils and nodules with lighter tones, lime white, ash grey and black-anthracite shades. The sharp contrast between the dark base and the thin crystalline veins gives the surfaces a dense, elegant and highly dynamic appearance.
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 micro-veins of recrystallized calcite). Since it is a predominantly silicate matrix material, it has excellent resistance to dilute acids and common detergents, being significantly more stable and durable than classic limestone marbles (although it is recommended to avoid prolonged contact with concentrated industrial acids to preserve calcareous micro-veins). It boasts medium-high hardness (Mohs scale 4.5–5), high mechanical compactness, low water absorption and excellent resistance to frost and heavy trampling.
– flooring and cladding: used for interior and exterior flooring, state lobbies, walkways and facade cladding due to its total frostiness and high wear resistance.
– bathroom, SPA, and vanity top environments: ideal for vanity tops, custom shower trays, and floor-to-ceiling wall coverings for wellness areas, creating a deep, natural, and enveloping atmosphere.
– bookmatch compositions: the lively and energetic movement of the venous network allows for the creation of scenographic backdrops with great visual impact.
– kitchen countertops and furnishings: used for kitchen tops, bar counters, seating tables, fireplace surrounds and custom stone inlays.
