Bianco Carrara
- Origin
- Tuscany, Italy
- Character
- A cool white ground with soft grey drift. The quietest of the five, and the one that lets engraving speak loudest.
Material library
Five stones.
Each is quarried, not manufactured. The descriptions below tell you what to expect, but not what you will get. We do not know either until the slab opens.
Forms
What the stone becomes.
Every stone we work can be cut to any of these forms: coaster, cube, disc, plaque. The proportions are fixed; the veining never is.
Form studies. Indicative of shape and scale, not photographs of finished pieces.
Verde Guatemala
- Origin
- Rajasthan, India
- Character
- Deep forest green shot through with white and moss. Dense, dramatic, and never the same twice.
Nero Marquina
- Origin
- Biscay, Spain
- Character
- True black with white lightning. The traditional ground for calligraphy. White fill on black stone is the highest contrast we can cut.
Emperador Dark
- Origin
- Murcia, Spain
- Character
- Warm tobacco brown with pale gold fracture. Reads almost like tortoiseshell under lamplight.
Travertine
- Origin
- Lazio, Italy
- Character
- Open, porous, sand-toned. The most tactile of the five, matte rather than polished and warm to the hand.
