This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 121″ × 78″, about 66 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 Greece.

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.

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 Saint Germain

Gris Saint Germain is a sophisticated Greek marble characterized by its elegant, deep gray palette and subtle, interlocking veining. This natural stone embodies the timeless refinement of Mediterranean geology, offering a compact structure and a polished finish that highlights its tonal depth. As a true marble, it is a metamorphic rock formed under intense heat and pressure, resulting in its classic crystalline texture. Often selected for its versatility, it serves as a stunning choice for high-end flooring, wall cladding, and custom cabinetry. Interestingly, Greek gray marbles have been prized since antiquity for their ability to provide a muted, regal contrast to the more common brilliant white stones found throughout the region.
