Grigio Collemandina is a sophisticated Italian marble quarried from the Garfagnana region of Tuscany, specifically near the village of Villa Collemandina. It features an intense, charcoal-to-taupe grey background accented by a dramatic network of fine white and occasionally gold veining that resembles lightning bolts. This high-density stone is prized for its exceptional polish and contemporary aesthetic, making it a favorite for luxury flooring and book-matched wall installations. Interestingly, the same quarries historically produced the rare Rosso Collemandina; as extraction moved deeper into the Jurassic-era rock layers, the material transitioned from a vibrant ruby red to the elegant grey tones seen today.
Grigio Collemandina — 2 cm semi-white, white, and silver marble, honed, about 120″ × 67″ per slab. Lot 17944, from Italy, is currently on hold at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 120″ × 67″, about 56 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is semi-white, white, and silver. 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 17944 at our Los Angeles yard shows one slab in stock, one slab on hold, and none currently available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.
The yard can confirm whether a held slab can be released.
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 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.
