Rain Forest Gold: the complete guide

Rain Forest Gold is a stone with a golden background and brown veins reminiscent of the branches and trunks of a forest. It is chosen for its naturalistic pattern, unique among marbles.

History and origin

It comes from India, where it belongs to a family of materials sold as Rain Forest in various shades, from green to brown to gold. The name derives precisely from the pattern of the veins, resembling a woodland landscape. It is widely used for feature walls and bathrooms in residential and hotel projects. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is golden yellow with beige and cream hues. The brown, sometimes greenish veins branch out like trees, with a direction that varies depending on the cut. Every slab is different and lends itself to bookmatching; polished enhances the contrast, honed makes it more discreet.
