Picasso Green – natural green quartzite

Picasso Green is a refined and expressive natural marble of Iranian origin. Wanted in high-end interior design for the abstract and artistic aspect of its design, which evokes the fluid brushstrokes of a modern painting, it constitutes an ornamental material with a strong visual personality and high aesthetic value.

Visually, it is distinguished by an enveloping background matrix in shades of olive green, sage green and forest green, capillarily wavy and enriched by a dense interweaving of flamed veins, branches and streaks in shades of silver grey, lime white, rust, ochre and dark micro-inclusions. The loose texture gives the surfaces a marked dynamism and a three-dimensional visual impact.

Technical characteristics of the Picasso Green

Geologically it is classified as a brecciated carbonate marble / metamorphic limestone (consisting mainly of recrystallized calcite, with micro-inclusions of chlorite, serpentine and metal oxides responsible for the vibrant green color and veined lattice). Being dominated by a carbonate matrix, it is sensitive to aggressive food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices or anti-limescale detergents), which can cause surface streaks or opacifications if not properly protected. It boasts medium hardness (Mohs scale 3.5–4), low-moderate water absorption and a good structural response to indoor workings.

Applications in design

– premium flooring and interior cladding: ideal for flooring in representative salons, hotel lobbies, boutiques and large floor-to-ceiling wall coverings.

– bookmatch compositions: the wavy and abstract movement of the veins allows for the creation of mirrored wall wings and accent panels of great artistic impact.

– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: widely used for vanity tops, shower walls and wellness areas (subject to appropriate and constant water-oil-repellent sealing).

– bespoke furnishing elements: a prominent choice for table tops, consoles, reception desks, fireplace surrounds and high-school stone inlays.
