Quarzite Grigia


Slabs are blue-grey in colour. They feature distinctive veins in shades of grey from dark to pale, which merge with material of the same grain size to create delicate contrasts.
Other stones > Quarzite Grigia - texture. Slabs are blue-grey in colour. They feature distinctive veins in shades of grey from dark to pale, which merge with material of the same grain size to create delicate contrasts.
Other stones > Quarzite Grigia: from the quarry - manufactured.
