Levanto Green - green marble of natural origin

Technical characteristics of Levanto Green

Geologically it is classified as a metamorphic brecciated ophichalcite / serpentinite. Although the serpentine silicate matrix provides the dark green background color, the massive presence of lattices, cements, and veins of carbonate origin (recrystallized calcite) effectively makes it a material sensitive to food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices, or anti-scale detergents), subject to localized opacification or acid corrosion when exposed to aggressive substances. It has a medium-high hardness for the marble category (Mohs scale 3–4) and good structural compactness. Due to the brecciated and veined nature of the rock, interior design slabs are commonly subjected to vacuum resining and back screening processes to optimize their mechanical stability.

Applications in design

– accent walls and prestigious vertical cladding: a prominent choice for the creation of scenic wall wings, marble wood paneling, and striking cladding in salons, state lobbies, and hotel suites.

– bookmatch compositions: the dramatic contrast between the dark green matrix and the intricate mesh of white veins lends itself beautifully to mirrored posing for the creation of decorative art panels.

– designer bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: widely used for high-end vanity tops, shower walls and bathroom upholstery (subject to adequate and careful stain-resistant sealing).

– custom furniture and design elements: ideal for making tops for dining tables, consoles, artistic fireplaces, inlaid floors and ornamental details of the highest quality.
