History and origin
It is part of the wide range of grey granites produced in Spain and has been on the international market for many years. Its neutral tone has made it common in paving, cladding and kitchens. It is supplied as slabs, tiles and finished pieces. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is pearl grey, with very dense white, grey and black crystals that give an almost uniform effect from a distance. Variations between slabs are generally limited. Polishing gives a brilliant, slightly darker surface; honed or brushed, it looks soft and matt.
