About Green Abbey

Green Abbey is a Chinese marble from the category of exclusive decorative marbles that are internationally sought after for their exceptional, dramatic veining. What makes it special is the interplay of the characteristic green veins — formed by mineral inclusions such as chlorite or serpentinite — with golden-brown tones and the light, creamy white ground stone.

The slab image of Green Abbey is lively and expressive: broad, flowing green bands alternate with finer veins and create an almost painterly effect reminiscent of abstract art or tropical landscapes. Every slab is unique, which makes the use of this material a matter of careful selection from the actual slab.

Finishes

Green Abbey is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.

Poliert

Politur ist die klassischste Veredelung für Marmor und Kalkstein — eine glänzende Oberfläche mit höchstmöglicher Farbintensität und ausgeprägter Tiefenwirkung der Aderung. Je nach mineralischer Zusammensetzung kann die Wirkung stellenweise mattglänzend sein. Säureempfindlich — Wein, Zitrone und Essig hinterlassen Ätzspuren bei längerer Einwirkung.

Care & fabrication

Marble like Green Abbey reacts sensitively to acids. Wipe up acidic substances such as lemon juice, vinegar or wine immediately. Seal after installation and clean regularly with a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner. Do not use abrasives. On individual slabs the green inclusions can be more sensitive than the white calcareous portion.
