Fior Di Bosco is a sophisticated gray marble quarried in the Tuscany region of Italy, specifically near Suvereto. This natural stone is celebrated for its deep leaden and smoky background, which is dramatically interrupted by a "burst" of fine arborescent veins in shades of crisp white, amber, and warm apricot. Its name, which translates to "wildflower" in Italian, reflects the organic, energetic movement of these intricate patterns. Renowned for its exceptional density and low porosity, Fior Di Bosco offers superior durability for a marble, making it a premier choice for high-end residential flooring, statement kitchen islands, and luxury bathroom claddings. Interestingly, while its palette evokes a moody, contemporary aesthetic, the stone often contains subtle fossil details that provide a unique geological depth and character.
Fior Di Bosco is a 2 cm grey marble from Italy, offered in a honed finish. Lot FA3F01 measures about 116″ × 73″, with one slab available and 4 on hold at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 116″ × 73″, about 59 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 honed finish is smooth and matte, without a high gloss. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.
In the yard
Lot FA3F01 at our Los Angeles yard shows 5 slabs in stock, 4 slabs 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 Classical Bathroom.
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.
