Verde Issoire is a valuable, historic and elegant serpentinite rock / serpentine marble extracted from the stone deposits of the Aosta Valley (Italy). Appreciated in its institutional architecture and luxury interiors (chosen, among other things, to enrich the interiors of the United Nations Building in New York), it represents an Italian ornamental stone of extremely high institutional and aesthetic prestige.
Visually, it is distinguished by an intense background matrix in shades of dark emerald green, forest green and grey-green, enriched by a characteristic “hazelnut” texture and dark clasts, and engraved by a dense and elegant lattice of crystalline veins and branches in shades of white lime and silver grey.
Geologically it is classified as a silicate-carbonate serpentinite / serpentine marble (metamorphic rock consisting of serpentine group minerals such as antigorite, with the presence of recrystallized calcite, chlorite and magnetite 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 opacify calcareous micro-components if not properly protected. It boasts excellent compactness and compressive strength, high resistance to freeze/thaw cycles and an extremely low imbibition/water absorption coefficient.
– high-quality flooring and cladding: ideal choice for representative floors, hotel lobbies, executive offices, vertical accent walls and facades.
– bookmatch compositions: the presence of a clean and distributed veined lattice lends itself to the creation of scenographic mirrored walls and decorative panels.
– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: very popular for the creation of vanity tops, sinks made from solid water, shower trays and coatings for wellness areas (after appropriate protective water-oil-repellent sealing).
– countertops and furnishing elements: used for table tops, consoles, sculptural elements and decorative inlays.
