THE GREY COLLECTION

Grigio Argento

Sourced from the Cervenillë quarry near Rahovec in Kosovo, Grigio Argento has been one of the Company’s greatest commercial successes.

It has been sold to, amongst others, prestige London homebuilder St George PLC for its Thames riverside apartment complex, Chelsea Creek. It is available in a range of hues and with a range of fossil patterning.

THE GREY COLLECTION

Illirico Selene

The silver grey twin to Illirico Bianco with which it occurs naturally in contiguous beds up to 15m thick, this exciting new marble also comes from the Malishevë quarry in Kosovo. 

The colouration and patterning of this marble is unusual and the company could have sold its test block, extracted at the end of 2015, many times over.  Since the quarry moved to full production in 2016 Selene has sold well across the globe as block, slab and as cut to size. As a natural product there is some variation in both pattern and colour but this does not seem to affect strong customer demand.
