Stone may vary in colour, tone and have lines of quartz, fossilisation and other markings. There will also be small variations in all dimensions. The tiles will arrive in much the same order as they came off the saw, which means that shades of colour and particular markings in the stone are liable to be next to each other.

Is stone cold underfoot? Not necessarily so. Stone absorbs ambient heat and so usually feels only slightly cooler than room temperature. It is extremely good at storing heat – if you’ve ever walked on a Mediterranean rock after the sun has gone down, you’ll understand this perfectly. So a stone floor will feel toasty warm next to the Aga. Stone also works brilliantly well with underfloor heating, as it disperses the heat so well.

The veining is flowing and "swirling," creating a dynamic texture that tells a unique geological story in every slab.  Source: Extracted from the Corna d'Alba quarries in Val Brembana, near Bergamo, Northern Italy. Durability: A crystalline limestone with a high density (approx. 2.7–2.9 g/cm³), making it robust enough for both residential and commercial applications. Finish: Most commonly found in a polished finish to highlight the depth of the reds, but also available in honed and leather textures for a more contemporary, tactile feel. Statement Features: Its intense color makes it a favourite for bookmatched feature walls, fireplace surrounds, and grand kitchen islands. Interior Design: Widely used for luxury bathroom vanities, flooring, and bespoke furniture, such as marble dining tables. External Accents: Suitable for external cladding and paving in moderate climates. Sealing: As a porous natural stone, it requires a high-quality penetrating sealer upon installation and periodic resealing every 12–24 months to prevent staining from oils and water. Cleaning: Always use pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid acidic substances like lemon or vinegar, which can "etch" (dull) the surface of the marble. - [Breccia Capraia](https://stone-age.co.uk/product/breccia-capraia/): Breccia Capraia is an iconic and highly expressive Italian marble from the Tuscany region, specifically the Apuan Alps near Carrara.

Cleaning: Should only be cleaned with pH-neutral products; acidic cleaners will etch the surface. Protection: In kitchen settings, the use of coasters and cutting boards is essential to protect the stone from acidic substances like citrus and vinegar. - [Arabescatto Corchia](https://stone-age.co.uk/product/arabescatto-corchia/): Arabescatto Corchia is a prestigious and high-contrast Italian marble quarried from the Monte Corchia basin in the Apuan Alps near Carrara.

It is highly regarded for its exceptional durability and its characteristic warm, "honeyed" aesthetic. Typically ranges from soft beige to warm honey-yellow, often with subtle grey or taupe undertones. It is a medium-grained, oolitic limestone. Depending on the "bench" (layer) from which it is quarried, it can be: Brabuzon Medium: More homogenous and lighter in color with "speckled" markings, or Brabuzon Tigré (Tiger): Features darker, parallel veins or "stripes" that add visual movement. The stone often contains delicate fossilized shells and unique mineral textures that deepen its historic character.  Technical Properties Durability: Ampilly is classified as a semi-hard to hard stone (density of approx. 2360 kg/m³). Resistance: It is exceptionally frost-resistant, making it one of the most reliable Burgundy stones for exterior use in cold climates. Versatility: Its low water absorption (approx. 0.5%) allows it to be used in "wet" areas like bathrooms and pool surrounds.  Typical Applications Flooring & Paving: Extensively used for both internal flagstones and external patios. Architectural Features: Popular for carving into solid sinks, washbasins, steps, and massive pillars. Heritage Projects: It has been used in prestigious global landmarks, including Charles de Gaulle Airport, the National Library in Paris, and the Cathedral of Troyes.  Common Finishes Antique/Aged: The most popular choice, which gives the stone a timeworn patina similar to reclaimed medieval stone.

Unlike its French namesake, the Moroccan variety is prized for its specific tonal depth and the artisanal craftsmanship involved in its production Colour & Tones: The stone features a sophisticated palette of soft steel grey and cool oatmeal. It is celebrated for its natural "movement," with subtle variations ranging from pale silver to deeper charcoal clouds, occasionally interspersed with delicate light grey mineral deposits. Fossil Detailing: Rich in geological history, these flagstones often contain visible white shell fragments and ancient fossils, providing a sense of organic depth that synthetic tiles cannot replicate. Tumbled & Hand-Dressed Finish: Each tile is hand-finished by stonemasons who manually distress the edges to create a softened, "pillowed" effect. The surface is then tumbled to achieve a smooth, matte texture that feels comfortable underfoot while looking centuries old. Artisanal craftsmanship: Each piece is unique. Because they are hand-worked in Morocco, the tiles possess slight irregularities in size and edge detail, which adds to the authentic, rustic charm of the installation. Durability: This is a dense, hard-wearing limestone capable of withstanding heavy foot traffic. Its thermal mass makes it an excellent conductor for underfloor heating, retaining warmth long after the heating is turned off. Density: Its compact structure makes it more resistant to moisture and wear than softer limestones, though it still requires a high-quality impregnating sealer to maintain its appearance against spills. The "Colombe Grey" is a favourite for barn conversions, farmhouse kitchens, and historic restorations where an immediate sense of maturity is required. Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Due to its frost resistance, it is frequently used to create a seamless transition from internal living areas to external patios and courtyards. High-Traffic Areas: Ideal for hallways, mudrooms, and open-plan kitchen-diners where durability is as important as aesthetics.

Some variations include subtle coral shades, light golden browns, and delicate grey veins. These tiles are rich in natural character, often featuring visible white-cream shells, fossils, and mineral veins. The surface typically has small pits and natural "holes" that contribute to an authentic, antique appearance. Hand-Finished Edges: To achieve a "centuries-old" look, the edges are hand-dressed or hand-cut and then tumbled. This process rounds the corners and softens the riven relief to create a timeworn, rustic appeal.  Available 400 & 500mm widths x Random Lengths x 25-30mm thickness Technical Properties Hand-Crafted Process: Sourced from Moroccan mountain quarries, large blocks are extracted and then hand-worked by stonemasons. The surface is often lightly brushed or honed to provide a textured yet smooth "river wash" feel. Durability: Moroccan limestone is exceptionally hard-wearing and stain-resistant once sealed, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. Versatility: Most variants are calibrated (typically to ~20mm or 22mm thickness) for easier installation. They are compatible with underfloor heating systems, which the stone naturally radiates efficiently.  Common Applications Interior: Ideal for kitchens, hallways, conservatories, and bathroom floors/walls. Exterior: Used for patios, courtyard features, and pool surrounds due to their natural slip-resistance. Heritage Style: Frequently selected for barn conversions and traditional properties to add immediate maturity and historic depth.  - [Carrara (Bianco)](https://stone-age.co.uk/product/carrara/): Bianco Carrara is a world-renowned natural stone extracted from the Apuan Alps in the Carrara region of Tuscany, Italy. Known as the "marble par excellence," it has been a staple in architecture and art since the Roman Empire and was notably the material of choice for Michelangelo's sculptures   Background: Primarily a white to light grey base. The brightness of the background often determines its grade: Grade C features a lighter, purer white base, while Grade CD has a darker, greyish-pearl undertone. Veining: Characterized by soft, feathery grey veining that is typically thin and linear, though it can sometimes appear as "cloud-like" patches. Texture: It is a fine-grained, crystalline marble. Natural variations may include occasional "flies" (small black spots) or subtle rust-orange markings.  Key Characteristics Durability: While hard-wearing for a marble, it is relatively soft (3 to 4 on the Mohs scale) and can be susceptible to scratching or chipping. Porosity: It has a low water absorption coefficient (approx. 0.10–0.12%), but it is sensitive to acids like lemon juice or vinegar, which can cause "etching" (dull spots). Light Reflection: The high calcite content allows light to enter the surface before being reflected, giving the stone a distinctive "shining" or luminous quality.  Common Applications Bianco Carrara is highly versatile and used in both traditional and contemporary designs.  Interior: Kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, shower walls, flooring, and fireplace surrounds. Architectural: Columns, stairs, wall cladding, and ornamental sculptures. Finishes: Most commonly found in polished (high-gloss, reflective) or honed (matt, satin-like) finishes.  - [Calacatta Oro Fontanili](https://stone-age.co.uk/product/calacatta-oro-fontanili/): Available in tile and slab format - [Broughton Moor](https://stone-age.co.uk/product/broughton-moor/): Broughton Moor slate is a metamorphic volcanic ash from the Borrowdale Volcanic Group formed during the Ordovician period and is between 450-500 million years old.

Known for its high-contrast aesthetic, it is frequently used as a "statement stone" in luxury residential and commercial projects, it features a crisp, bright white background accented by dramatic, swirling veins in shades of dark grey, charcoal, and occasionally subtle hints of gold or green. The veining typically forms intricate "arabesque" or "island-like" patterns that distinguish it from the more muted, uniform grey of standard Carrara marble. It is technically a brecciated marble, meaning it is composed of fragmented stone pieces naturally cemented together, which creates its unique "broken" veining style.  other Varieties Arabescato Corchia: Distinguished by rounded, "ovule" veining patterns, giving it a softer, more fluid appearance. Arabescato Vagli: Characterized by stronger, straighter veins and a slightly warmer white tone. Arabescato Cervaiole: Quarried at high altitudes, it typically features a very pure white base with balanced, fine grey veining. Arabescato Orobico: A unique variant that can feature darker backgrounds (grey or even red) with intense swirling patterns.  Technical Properties & Applications Durability: It is a relatively hard marble (Mohs 3–4), making it more resistant to scratches than softer varieties, though it remains sensitive to acids. Due to its porosity (approx. 0.11% to 0.40% water absorption), regular sealing is required to prevent staining Popular for high-visibility applications such as Kitchen & Bathroom: Countertops, backsplashes, and vanity tops. Architectural: Large-scale wall cladding, flooring, and "book-matched" feature walls. Ornamental: Fireplace surrounds, furniture tops, and sculptures. - [Acero Blue](https://stone-age.co.uk/product/acero-blue/): Acero Blue is a refined limestone with cool grey-blue tones and subtle movement throughout.
