This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 112″ × 66″, about 51 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.

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 Wet Bar.

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 Gris Du Marais

Gris Du Marais is a classic French marble celebrated for its elegant, mottled gray surface and sophisticated dappled patterning. This natural stone features a unique structural composition with an extraordinary abundance of minerals, resulting in a rich tapestry of micro-hairlines, delicate striping, and copper-colored veining. Its neutral palette, which shifts between silver and pale brown depending on the light, makes it a versatile favorite for high-end interior flooring, wall cladding, and luxury countertops. Interestingly, the stone’s distinctive aesthetic is an homage to mid-century Italian design masters like Gio Ponti, who frequently utilized similar richly-veined marbles to define the era’s understated luxury.
