History and origin
It belongs to the Chinese granites identified by a numerical code, widely used in international construction. It is often offered as an economical alternative to European light grey granites for floors, stairs and cladding. The tone can be slightly cooler or warmer depending on the batch. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The light grey background is enlivened by black specks and white feldspars, sometimes with a faint pinkish tinge. The pattern is regular and variability between slabs is limited. Polished, it shows a stronger grey, while flaming makes it light and rough.
