Verde Gressoney is a fine, historic and refined serpentinite rock / serpentine marble extracted from the Alpine deposits of the Aosta Valley (Italy), particularly along the Lys / Gressoney Valley. Appreciated in the Alpine architectural tradition and successfully integrated into contemporary high-end interior design, it represents an Italian ornamental stone of great character and geological identity.
Visually, it is distinguished by an intense and enveloping background matrix in shades of forest green, fir green and dark olive green, capillarily crossed by a dense network of micro-veins, branches and brecciations in shades of calcite white, light green, silver grey and ash shades.
Geologically it is classified as a silicate-carbonate serpentinite / serpentine marble (metamorphic rock of the Piedmontese aquifer consisting mainly of minerals of the serpentine group such as antigorite and lizardite, with the presence of recrystallized calcite, magnetite and chloritic 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 dull calcareous micro-components if not adequately protected. It boasts medium-high hardness (Mohs scale 4–4.5), excellent compactness and a low water absorption rate (~0.15–0.25%).
– premium flooring and interior cladding: used for flooring in representative salons, hotel lobbies, private residences, and floor-to-ceiling wall cladding.
– bookmatch compositions: the strongly contrasting veined lattice lends itself to the creation of accent walls and scenic backdrops for living and reception areas.
– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: widely used for designer bath room coverings, shower walls and vanity tops (subject to suitable hydro-oil-repellent protection).
– furnishing elements and fireplace surrounds: ideal for creating table tops, consoles, ornamental fireplace portals and custom stone inlays.
