Arabescato Orobico Grey Grigio Marble Blocks, Arabescato Grigio Rosa

From a petrographic point of view, it is a veined or laminated limestone, distinguished by its own peculiar colouring derived predominantly from the presence of oxides and ferrous hydroxides, dolomite and volcanic ash.

From a technical standpoint, Orobic marble not afraid any comparison: its compressive and flexural strength is very high, its durability (l.e. Resistance to stamping) is good; its extremely low water absorption coefficient ensures negligible a porosity, consequently it does not suffer damage from frost or ice. Overall, therefore, its characteristics show that this type of material is not only perfectly suited to traditional usage in flooring, interior trim, etc., but also for external applications with rustic surface.
