What Melograno Marble looks like
A brick red that leans brown fills the whole slab, covered by a fine network of medium-density cream veins. Diffuse ochre patches blend into the background. Contrast sits in the middle: the cream network reads clearly without competing with the red base. The surface has a glossy polish. Within the slab the pattern changes moderately; every marble slab is unique and yours is chosen from photos.

If the stone will be walked on wet, in a shower or on a bathroom floor, ask for the honed finish: the shine of polished turns slippery with water.
Melograno Marble finishes
Four finishes for this red: they change the shine of the surface and the feel under your hand.
-
Polished
The one in the photo: the shiniest finish; the surface reflects light.
-
Honed
The reflection disappears and matte remains: a smooth surface that slips less where there is water.
-
Brushed
Brushing leaves the surface matte, with a texture that feels firm under your hand.
-
Antiqued
Matte with a slight relief to the touch; the shine disappears.

Questions about Melograno marble
How does it differ from Rojo Alicante marble?
The difference is in the pattern. Rojo Alicante spreads a few white veins diagonally over its even terracotta red; the Melograno slab in the photo builds a fine network of cream veins with diffuse ochre patches. Both are marble: the choice comes down to which pattern you want in your home. The Rojo Alicante marble slab is on its page.
Does Melograno marble hold up as a kitchen countertop?
Yes. This red suits a kitchen if you let the patina of use show over the years. Lemon, vinegar or tomato react with the marble and leave a dull patch that cleaning does not remove. For a hard-working countertop, granite stands up better to acids; we compare options on the natural stone for kitchens page.
What care does Melograno marble need?
A red like this cleans with water and neutral soap; no acidic cleaners. Wipe up lemon juice, wine or any acidic liquid right away. The stone absorbs some water; a sealer slows that absorption without closing it completely, so the water drop test tells you whether your slab needs it.
Will the slab I receive look like the photo?
No: the photo shows a real Melograno slab, but every marble slab carries its own pattern. Before you buy, we send you photos of the slabs available for your order.
How does Melograno 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.
