Hotavlje Fantazija, Slovenia Red Marble Slabs & Tiles

North of the village Hotavlje at the base of the Blegoš mountain, there is a modern quarry where we extract the Hotavlje marble in environmentally friendly underground galleries. This is 230-million-year-old Carnian limestone, commonly known also as “the Hotavlje marble”. It is of a non-homogeneous structure with an expressed lively colour passing from dark grey to grey and greyish-pink, pink and red. It has an attractive mottled image with irregular patches of grey, opaque yellow or scarlet dolomite in small rhomboid crystals, white and coloured calcite veins and several remains of fossils, mainly algae. The Hotavlje limestone is very precious for us as we know already all of its secrets and its beauty. It is suitable for use in internal surfaces, and in suitable thicknesses also for external paving and equipment. On the surface, we may achieve a high-gloss finish, however, the marble is suitable for any type of treatment: grinding, brushing, bush hammering, pointing, sanding. It also plays an important role in the restoration of architectural heritage
