Millazo is an Indian limestone with a powerfully veined image — an anthracite-grey and a creamy beige base tone alternate in horizontal bands of movement, accented by fine white healing lines. An acid-sensitive carbonate class with an elegant, dramatic slab image for prestigious wall claddings and vanity tops.
Indian carbonate limestone with a horizontally bedded sedimentation composition. Anthracite-grey and creamy beige tonalities in alternating bands of movement; the white veins are secondary calcite healing zones. Mohs hardness approx. 3, acid-sensitive.
Millazo is an Indian limestone. India is among the world's most productive natural stone exporters — alongside its extensive granite deposits there are also productive limestone and marble provinces, particularly in Rajasthan and in Karnataka.
Geologically it is a classic carbonate limestone with a powerfully animated bedding composition. The anthracite-grey and creamy beige tonalities alternate in horizontal bands of movement — a characteristic bedding foliation that arose from differing sediment deposits during the original formation of the carbonate platform.
In the slab image Millazo shows a powerful horizontal bedding composition: anthracite-grey and creamy beige tonalities in flowing, alternating bands of movement, accented by fine white calcite healing lines. The vein marking appears animated and landscape-like, almost like a sedimentary cliff composition — an atmospherically luxurious material history.
For the application that means: Millazo is a decidedly elegant choice for prestigious wall claddings, vanity tops, bar counters and interior surfaces with a luxurious, dramatic ambition.
Technically, Millazo, like all carbonate limestones, is acid-sensitive (Mohs hardness approx. 3) and requires an awareness of care.
At ROSSITTIS we stock Millazo as a raw slab in 20 mm thickness with a polished finish. Stylistically related are other veined limestones such as Pietra Piasentina or the Levanto family. Anyone who needs the same dramatic image in a robust and acid-proof form should look towards porcelain.
Our honest assessment: Millazo is an elegant choice for luxurious interior architecture. Anyone who needs maximum acid resistance should reach for porcelain.

Millazo is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.
Polished
Polishing is the most classic finish for marble and limestone — a glossy surface with the highest possible colour intensity and a pronounced depth to the veining. Depending on the mineral composition, the effect can be matte-gloss in places. Acid-sensitive — wine, lemon and vinegar leave etch marks after prolonged contact.
Care & fabrication
Millazo is a carbonate limestone and reacts sensitively to acid. Mohs hardness approx. 3.
Do not use: acidic cleaners, descalers, abrasive agents.
Impregnation: recommended every 12–18 months.
Kitchen worktop: not the first choice. Acidic splashes leave etch marks.
Repair: etch marks and scratches can be evened out by professional re-polishing.
Frequently asked questions
Where does Millazo originate?
From Indian limestone deposits.
Is Millazo suitable for the kitchen?
With an awareness of care. As a carbonate limestone it is acid-sensitive — better suited to wall applications.
Which finishes are available?
The surface finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.
Is Millazo suitable for bookmatch?
Yes, the horizontal banding delivers dramatically axially symmetrical images.
How much material do you currently have in stock?
We currently stock 8 raw slabs of Millazo in 20 mm thickness.
What does Millazo cost?
The price depends on the batch, thickness, surface finish and fabrication — with natural stone there is no serious flat rate per square metre. Business customers see prices once their B2B account is activated; private customers receive a complete quote through a fabricator near them.
