Verde S.Denise is one of the most famous, valuable and historic serpentine marbles of Italian origin, extracted from the stone basins of the Aosta Valley (specifically in the municipality of Saint-Denis). Recognized and appreciated since ancient times in monumental architecture and luxury interior design, it represents an Alpine ornamental rock of extraordinary beauty and strong territorial identity.
Visually, it is distinguished by an intense, deep and saturated background matrix in shades of emerald green, deep forest green and night green, traversed and incised by a dense and elegant texture of thin intrinsic veins and branches in shades of light green, lime white, silver-grey and calcite micro-inclusions.
Geologically it is classified as a serpentinite / silicate-carbonate serpentine marble (Alpine metamorphic rock belonging to the Piedmont-Aosta Valley aquifer, consisting mainly of minerals of the serpentine group such as antigorite and lizardite, 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, juices or anti-limescale detergents), which can opacify the limestone components if not properly protected. It boasts a medium-high hardness for the marble category (Mohs scale 4–4.5), a high structural compactness and a low water absorption rate.
– luxury flooring and interior coverings: an excellent choice for representative salons, hotel lobbies, boutiques, and large, floor-to-ceiling vertical wall wings.
– bookmatch compositions: the elegant shape of the veined lattice allows for the creation of accent walls and mirrored panels of extraordinary scenographic strength.
– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: widely used for designer vanity tops, bath room coverings and shower walls (after appropriate protective water-oil-repellent sealing).
– furnishing elements and fireplace surrounds: a privileged choice for representative table tops, consoles, reception desks, fireplace portals and high-quality stone inlays.
