Verde Issorie

Verde Issorie is a truly dramatic European marble, a stone that immediately captures the eye with its intensely saturated dark emerald to rich forest-green background. Across this deeply luxurious surface, a wonderfully chaotic, tightly woven network of bright white crystalline veins threads its way, creating striking movement. Adding to its complexity and depth are strongly contrasting, lighter green brecciated patches, which break up the verdant expanse with their unique texture and colour.

Quarried in the picturesque Issogne region of Italy’s Aosta Valley, Verde Issorie is a testament to the Earth’s transformative power. This non-foliated metamorphic rock began its journey as limestone, later undergoing immense heat and pressure, causing its calcite crystals to recrystallize. The spectacular green hues are often a result of accessory minerals like serpentine, while the bright white veins are pure calcite, intricately formed as geological forces fractured and then healed the stone. Its brecciated texture speaks to this intense natural history, where fragments of the original rock were cemented together by new mineral growth.

With its boldly textured, intensely contrasting character, Verde Issorie is a fabulously striking choice for those seeking opulent, statement luxury worktops. We find it truly transformative in kitchens and bathrooms, creating an unforgettable focal point. Like all marble, Verde Issorie benefits from regular sealing to maintain its beauty and resistance to staining, and while durable, care should be taken with acidic substances. Our passion at In2Stone lies in bringing such magnificent natural materials into your home, templating and installing each slab with the precision and care it deserves, ensuring a result that reflects both its inherent luxury and our commitment to honest craftsmanship.
