Verde Mergozzo is a historic and elegant natural silicate rock extracted from the stone basins of Piedmont (Italy), particularly in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, close to Lake Mergozzo and the Montorfano massif. Famous in Italian historical and monumental architecture for its excellent strength and homogeneity, it constitutes a native silicate ornamental stone of great value and tradition.
Visually, it is distinguished by a harmonious and compact background matrix in shades of light grey-green, sage green and desaturated olive green, capillarily characterised by a minute and regular crystalline speckling in shades of quartz white, ash grey, biotite black and epidotic micro-reflections.
Geologically it is classified as a silicate intrusive magmatic rock (granodiorite / amphibole-biotitic granite with a high quartz and plagioclase content, whose delicate greyish-green colour is conferred by micro-inclusions of epidote, hornblende and chlorite). Being a material with a strictly silicate composition and free from carbonate components, it does not react to food or household chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices or anti-limescale detergents) and is not subject to opacification or acid corrosion. It boasts a very high hardness (Mohs scale 6–6.5), extraordinary resistance to compression, abrasion, heavy trampling, frost and atmospheric agents, combined with an extremely low water absorption rate.
– heavy-duty kitchen and island tops: suitable for kitchen tops and work counters thanks to its total resistance to food acids, nicks and heat.
– urban and external paving and cladding: a privileged choice for squares, walkways, curbs, steps, detached facades, and street furniture subject to frost, de-icing salts, and heavy mechanical wear.
– flooring and interior cladding: used for paving public buildings, stations, office and residential spaces with a sober and natural taste.
– bathroom and vanity top environments: used for vanity tops, shower trays and wall coverings, ensuring high hygienic and durability performance.
