Verde Issogne is a prestigious, historic and iconic serpentinite rock / serpentine marble quarried in the stone basins of the Aosta Valley (Italy), particularly in the municipality of Issogne along the lower Aosta Valley. Famous in historical Alpine architecture and successfully used in high-end international interior design, it represents one of the most aesthetically valuable and geologically significant Italian serpentinite ornamental stones.
Visually, it is distinguished by a deep and intense background matrix in shades of dark green, forest green and octane green, capillarily crossed by a dense texture of crystalline veins, branches and brecciations in shades of white lime, ivory, light green and ash-grey shades.
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, magnetite 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 dull the limestone components if not adequately protected. It boasts a medium-high hardness (Mohs scale 4–4.5), excellent compactness and a low half-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 magnificently to the creation of accent walls and scenographic wings.
– 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).
– furnishing elements and fireplace surrounds: ideal for creating table tops, consoles, ornamental fireplace portals and custom stone inlays
