Verde Alpi Scuro is a prestigious serpentinite marble quarried from the Aosta Valley in the Italian Alps. Characterized by its deep, forest-green background, this stone is famously interlaced with a sophisticated network of white calcite veins that create a dramatic, web-like contrast. Geologically classified as an ophicalcite, it was formed by the intense tectonic collision of the African and European plates. Its name, "Scuro," translates to "dark," highlighting its intense, moody pigmentation. This durable stone has been a symbol of luxury since antiquity, frequently used in high-end Italian interiors for its ability to hold an exceptionally high, glass-like polish.
Lot GR 16671 is a 2-slab run of 2 cm Verde Alpi Scuro marble, in a polished finish. The slabs measure about 118″ × 66″, with 2 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 118″ × 66″, about 54 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is green with white and black. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade.
The polished finish is reflective and lets the color read clearly. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.
In the yard
Lot GR 16671 at our Los Angeles yard shows 2 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 2 slabs available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.
The slabs can be compared in daylight at our Los Angeles yard before anything is cut.
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.
