History and origin
It is one of the many grey granites produced in Spain, a country that exports stone all over the world. Materials of this kind are used for paving, cladding and building components. It is an imported material available as slabs and formats. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is medium grey with white and black crystals distributed evenly. The slabs look regular, with slight differences in tone between lots. Polishing intensifies the grey; flaming lightens it and makes the surface rough.
