Green China – green marble of natural origin

Green China is a famous, vibrant and imposing serpentine marble / serpentinite rock mined mainly in deposits in Liaoning Province (Dandong area), China. Recognized and exported worldwide for the unmistakable brilliance of its jade green hue and its excellent workability, it is a reference ornamental material in interior design and interior architecture.

Visually, it is characterized by a vivid and intense background matrix in shades of jade green, apple green and light emerald green, richly sprinkled with shades, undulations and micro-inclusions in shades of white lime, sage green, pearl grey and thin dark veins. Its particular chromatic saturation gives surfaces a fresh, bright and highly decorative appearance.

Technical characteristics of Green China

Geologically it is classified as a serpentinite / silicate-carbonate serpentine marble (metamorphic rock consisting mainly of minerals of the serpentine group such as antigorite and lizardite, recrystallized together with calcite and dolomite with the presence of chlorite). Being a material with a mixed silicate-carbonate composition, it has a moderate sensitivity to aggressive food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices or anti-limescale detergents), which can opacify or attack calcareous micro-components if not adequately protected. It boasts a medium-high hardness (Mohs scale 4–4.5), good structural compactness and a low water absorption rate (~0.18–0.25%).

Applications in design

– high-quality flooring and interior cladding: widely used for flooring in salons, representative entrances, hotel lobbies and floor-to-ceiling wall wings.

– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: very popular for the creation of vanity tops, shower tray covers and accent walls in wellness areas (after appropriate protective water-oil-repellent sealing).

– bookmatch compositions: the wavy pattern and contrasting white veins allow for mirrored installations of great visual impact and elegance.

– furnishing elements and stone inlays: ideal for table tops, console tables, ornamental fireplace surrounds, designer objects and decorative inlays.
