The material, commercially known as Noisette Fleury and Grigio Fior di Bosco, reveals a heavily brewed complex with a colorimetric mirror that varies in a crescendo of nuances of rose (Noisette Fleury) to gray (Grigio Fior di Bosco), all interrupted by whitish veins which constitute the common denominator between the two pigmentations.

It’s evident that these materials have, for over half a century on the market, acquired a personality so structured that they can hardly be replaced by Italian or foreign marble.
