What Rosso Cardinale marble looks like
A burgundy red fills the slab in the photo, crossed by medium-sized irregular white veins and dotted with gray-violet stains. The contrast is high: against the burgundy, the white stands out clearly. The veins run at medium density and the burgundy remains the main color. Within the slab in the photo, variation is moderate: the pattern does not repeat from one area to another. In the photo, the polish leaves the burgundy glossy.

Rosso Cardinale marble finishes
The slab in the photo comes polished; the other finishes change the sheen and the feel.
-
Polished
The one in the photo: it is the glossiest finish; wet, the surface is slippery.
-
Honed
Without the reflection of the photo, the surface stays smooth and matte; wet, it is less slippery than polished.
-
Brushed
A dimmed sheen and a textured feel; in showers and wet areas of the bathroom it is the alternative to honed.
-
Antiqued
The dullest sheen of the four and a rough surface to the touch.

Questions about Rosso Cardinale marble
Why is this stone also called Rosso Cardinale?
It is the same stone: Rosso Cardinale is another way of writing the same trade name. Order it with whichever comes more naturally to you.
How does it behave in the kitchen?
A Rosso Cardinale countertop holds up to daily use; over the years it will show marks: that patina is part of the deal. Use brings acid accidents: a cut lemon, a glass of wine. Where they land, the polish turns dull; that is not a stain, it is the marble reacting. If marks weigh on you in your kitchen, granite stands up better to acids.
Do Rosso Cardinale and Melograno marble look alike?
Not much: both are red, but the pattern sets them apart. In its photo, Melograno leans toward brownish brick and carries a fine web of light veins with ocher patches. In the Rosso Cardinale photo the red is burgundy, with irregular white veins and gray-violet stains. Against the Rojo Alicante photo, an even terracotta with few white veins, the Rosso Cardinale one carries more veining and adds the violet stains.
How do you clean and maintain this marble?
Caring for it is simple: water and neutral soap, nothing more. If an acidic liquid spills, dry it right away; acidic household cleaners etch just like fruit does. For the sealer, place a drop of water on the surface: where the stone absorbs it quickly, it is worth applying.
