This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 116″ × 75″, about 60 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is black with 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 France.

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 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 Modern 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.

About Grand Antique

Grand Antique is a prestigious and visually arresting marble quarried in the Aubert-Moulis region of the French Pyrenees. Characterized by a deep black limestone background fractured by bold, angular white calcite veining, it creates a high-contrast, graphic composition that resembles a natural mosaic. This stone’s history is as dramatic as its appearance; it was highly prized by the Romans and later used to decorate iconic landmarks like the Hagia Sophia and St. Peter’s Basilica. Interestingly, the quarry was closed for nearly 70 years and its location was practically forgotten until it was rediscovered and reopened in 2012.
