This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 89″ × 53″, about 33 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is green. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. This material is recorded as quarried in Brazil.
The honed finish is smooth and matte, without a high gloss. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

Where it works
For this kind of stone, the usual applications are floors, wall cladding, and hearths. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed.
The material
Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic stone that splits into layers. It is used for floors, cladding, hearths, and some counters. The surface is naturally textured, and color can run through gray, black, green, and rust. It is tougher underfoot than polished marble and does not need a gloss to look finished.
About Ardosia Grigio Slate
Ardosia Grigio Slate presents a deep charcoal gray ground with a smooth, matte surface that reads as calm and understated. The tone stays remarkably even from edge to edge, with only faint shifts in shade and no pronounced veining or pattern, giving the slab a clean, modern look. Quarried in Brazil, this natural slate has a dense, fine-grained character and is valued for its durability and resistance to wear, moisture, and heat. Its low-sheen finish pairs well with both contemporary and rustic design schemes. It suits a wide range of applications, including countertops, flooring, wall cladding, fireplace surrounds, and outdoor installations.
