What Ombra di Caravaggio looks like
The dark gray-brown background carries a dense pattern: wide terracotta veins that advance diagonally and cross fine white veins. The high contrast keeps the strokes clearly drawn on the polished slab in the photo. Within the slab, the pattern changes moderately.

Ombra di Caravaggio finishes
The polish in the photo is the starting point; each finish changes how much the slab shines and how it feels to the touch.
-
Polished
Mirror sheen and a smooth surface: this is the finish on the slab in the photo.
-
Honed
Takes away the mirror reflection and leaves the surface soft: in a shower or on a wet floor it slips less than polished.
-
Brushed
Medium sheen and a textured feel: the gray-brown of the background keeps a soft sheen, not a mirror.
-
Antiqued
Deep matte and a soft feel: the gray-brown background loses the polish's reflection.

Questions about Ombra di Caravaggio
What sets Ombra di Caravaggio apart from Sahara Bronze marble?
Sahara Bronze draws, in its photo, fine bronze veins that cross over a brownish black background. The slab of this Ombra di Caravaggio mixes two kinds of vein: wide terracotta and fine white, diagonal and densely drawn. Set the two photos side by side and the scale of the pattern is what stands out.
Does Ombra di Caravaggio work for a kitchen countertop?
Yes, with conditions. The mark left by a lemon or a spilled wine is not a stain: it is acid, which dulls the polish at the exact spot where it lands. On a polished surface that matte patch shows; if you accept the patina of use, the kitchen works. If you want fewer marks, granite stands up to acids better; the marble or granite guide has the differences.
What care does Ombra di Caravaggio need?
Cleaning asks little: a cloth with water and pH-neutral soap is enough. Check the sealer with the water drop test: if the spot where the water fell looks darker after a while, the stone is absorbing and it is time to seal. Lemon, wine and tomato get wiped up as soon as they land on the stone.
Does Ombra di Caravaggio hold up as a floor?
It holds up well on indoor floors. The sheen gives way in traffic areas; when that happens, the slab can be restored and polished again. Where the floor gets wet often, honed or brushed is less slippery than polished.
How does Ombra di Caravaggio reach my country?
