Verde Chaine is a refined, expressive and elegant serpentine marble / serpentinite rock quarried in the stone basins of Morocco. Appreciated in interior architecture and luxury design for the characteristic cateniform interweaving of its veins and the vivid chromatic saturation, it constitutes an ornamental stone of notable decorative impact.
Visually, it is distinguished by an intense background matrix in shades of emerald green, forest green and mint green, capillarily crossed by a dense texture of ring-shaped veins and interwoven meshes in shades of white lime, ivory, light green and ash shades. The complex cateniform motif (chaine) gives the surfaces a marked three-dimensionality and a highly sought-after rhythmic dynamism.
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 mixed composition material, it has a moderate sensitivity to aggressive food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine or anti-limescale detergents), which can cause surface opacification on limestone components if not adequately protected. It boasts a medium-high hardness (Mohs scale 4–4.5), excellent compactness and a low water absorption rate. The slabs are regularly resinized and reinforced with fiberglass back mesh to optimize their mechanical stability during processing.
– high-quality flooring and interior coverings: used for flooring in salons, hotel lobbies, wall panels and vertical coverings with high scenographic value.
– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: ideal for designer bath room coverings, shower walls and vanity tops (subject to appropriate protective water-oil-repellent sealing).
– bookmatch compositions: the typical cateniform veined weave lends itself beautifully to mirrored installations for accent walls.
– luxury furnishings and accessories: particularly suitable for lounge table tops, consoles, fireplace surrounds and custom stone inlays.
