COLOR: The alabastrino is essentially a white travertine with very clear streaks of color ranging from ivory to havana and, at times, silvery shadings. Its structure is very firm and homogeneous, generally it has no pores or relevant cavities. When it is cross cut, the streaks of color are more highlighted and ondulated, alternating in thickness and intensity.

AVAILABILITY: It is located in our quarry, with average/high availability.

WORKABILITY: It is suitable for all types of processing. Possible realizations: tiles, mosaics,sculptures, statues, vases, plant racks, lamps, tables, chairs, benches, fireplaces, balusters,fences, stairs, columns, fountains, swimming pools, bathrooms, toilets, bidets, shower trays, bath tub, sinks, kitchen countertops, libraries, ornamental carpets, flooring and cladding, coverings, furniture, objects of all kinds, interior/exterior design, etc.
