Bardiglio Nuvolato is a historic and refined Italian marble quarried from the legendary Apuan Alps in Tuscany. Characterized by its deep, moody gray background, this stone is celebrated for its unique "cloud-like" texture, where irregular waves of light gray and white veining drift across the surface. Its name, derived from the Italian word for cloudy, perfectly captures this atmospheric aesthetic. Often used as a sophisticated companion to classic white marbles like Carrara, it offers a denser structure and high-contrast appeal. Interestingly, its use dates back to Roman times, where its durability made it a staple for grand architectural elements.
Bardiglio Nuvolato — 2 cm grey marble, polished, about 117″ × 71″ per slab. Lot 180436, from Italy, has one slab available at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 117″ × 71″, about 58 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is grey. 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 Italy.
The polished finish is reflective and lets the color read clearly. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.
In the yard
Lot 180436 at our Los Angeles yard shows one slab in stock, none on hold, and one slab available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.
With one slab available, it suits a project that can be cut from a single piece.
Where it works
For this kind of stone, the usual applications are bathrooms, vanities, fireplace surrounds, and feature walls. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in a Bathroom and a Kitchen.
The material
Marble is a metamorphic stone, recrystallized from limestone, and it is valued for veining and a luminous surface. It is softer and more sensitive to acids than granite or quartzite, so wine, citrus, and strong cleaners can etch a polish. That is why it is a classic for bathrooms, vanities, fireplaces, and walls, and for kitchens when the owner wants the look and will live with a natural patina. A honed face shows etching less than a high polish. Vein direction should be planned on the actual slabs before fabrication.
