What Macchia Vecchia Marble looks like
The greenish gray breaks into fragments, and large rust-red and ochre patches surround them, along with fine white veins. The contrast between the rust red and the greenish gray is high. From one area of this slab to another, the balance of red and gray varies a lot. The photo shows it polished and glossy: the straps and supports showing are for handling, not part of the stone. No two marble slabs come out the same, so choose yours from its photo.

Questions about Macchia Vecchia marble
How do I tell Macchia Vecchia apart from Breccia di Versailles?
In their photos, both show fragments, but the layout differs. Breccia di Versailles spreads diffuse fragments, fine light veins and ochre touches over a brownish gray. The Macchia Vecchia slab in the photo concentrates large rust-red and ochre patches within the greenish gray: that red decides the comparison.
Does Macchia Vecchia marble hold up as a kitchen countertop?
Yes, if you accept the marks. Lemon, wine or tomato attack the polish and leave a dull patch that cleaning will not remove. This Macchia Vecchia works when you like a stone that ages and takes on patina. If you don't want marks, granite is the alternative; the marble or granite guide compares the two.
Is the photo a real slab?
Yes. They are two shots of the same slab: the whole slab with its handling straps and supports, and the close-up, where you can see the polish shine. Every slab lays out its patches its own way. Before you buy, we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
What care does Macchia Vecchia marble need?
For cleaning, nothing more than water and pH-neutral soap. What needs attention are accidents: wine, lemon or an acidic cleaner leave a dull mark, so blot them as soon as they spill. If the slab absorbs water in the drop test, it needs sealer before you put the surface to use. The marks that years of use leave come out with a fresh polish.
How does Macchia Vecchia marble reach my country?
We ship to any country, with the stone's documents of origin and its CE certification. On the shipping page we explain how it reaches each region.
