Chillagoe Grey: complete guide
Chillagoe Grey is a grey marble from Queensland, Australia. It is chosen for its intense grey and veined pattern, suited to modern interiors.
History and origin
The name recalls Chillagoe, in northern Queensland, an area known for its marbles and karst landscapes. It is a material used mainly in Australia and uncommon on the European market. It is therefore imported on request, with availability checked each time. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is grey, from medium to dark, with lighter and sometimes darker veins enlivening the surface. Slabs may show differences in tone and density of veining. Polished, it has a deep, sophisticated look; honed, it appears more matt and uniform.
