This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 114″ × 70″, about 55 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 112″ × 70″ to 117″ × 70″. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is semi-white, white, brown, and blue. 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 polished finish is reflective and lets the color read clearly. 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 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.

About Palissandro Classico

Palissandro Classico is a world-renowned Italian marble quarried from the Piedmont region of the Italian Alps. It is celebrated for its sophisticated creamy beige and ivory base, elegantly traversed by horizontal, silk-like veins in shades of hazel, blue-grey, and soft brown. This metamorphic stone is distinguished by a unique pearlescent sheen and a fine crystalline structure that provides a subtle "inner glow" when polished. While its aesthetic is soft and tranquil, it is remarkably durable for a marble, making it a premier choice for high-end countertops, book-matched wall panels, and luxury flooring. Interestingly, Palissandro is geologically a silicate-rich marble, containing minerals that contribute to its signature shimmering, almost metallic luster.
