Summary

edit
Description
English: Italian Red Antique Marble - a tectonic marble breccia from Italy having white calcite veining and some greenish serpentinization. This material comes from Genoa in Liguria Province, northwestern Italy.
Tectonic breccias in the commercial decorative stone trade are typically called “marbles”. By definition, any breccia will have abundant large angular fragments. The tectonic breccias are generated by intense tectonic crushing and fracturing along fault zones in orogenic belts. Cut & polished samples are typically bicolored or multicolored and are quite striking in appearance.
