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.

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 Maleshevë 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 then it has increased production. It brings the stone to market in two types defined by the size and form of the natural patterning. Type 1 has fewer large fossils whilst Type 2 has rather more. The attractiveness of dimension stone is highly subjective but opinion seems evenly divided of which of these types is more attractive.
