About Verde Gloria
Verde Gloria is a green-looking hard rock from Brazil. The ground moves between dark green, greenish grey and anthracite, run through with fine lighter mineral grains and a slight, almost irregular movement. This produces a natural, restrained image that appears neither technically cold nor decoratively loud. For calm green accents on worktops, floors, stairs and wall claddings in particular, this is very coherent.
The stone comes from Brazil and is traded in the natural stone trade as a hard rock. Visually and in material terms, Verde Gloria falls within the family of dark Brazilian granite- or serpentinite-related hard rocks customary in the green segment. The Greek serpentinite marble of the same name is a different material. In trade usage, Verde Gloria runs in the granite group and is among the classical “green hard rocks” as they have been used in kitchen and contract projects for decades.
Technically, Verde Gloria is robustly positioned as a hard rock. Bulk densities lie at around 2,700–2,900 kg/m³, water absorption typically well below 0.5 %. Acid resistance and frost resistance are very good within the hard rock range — in practice this means: citrus, vinegar and wine do not harm the surface, hot pots are no problem, and external applications are also possible. For worktops, floor surfaces, stairs and façades this is a profile very well suited to everyday use.
The finishes currently available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down this page. At ROSSITTIS, Verde Gloria is available as a raw slab, in tiles, as tread and riser, window sill, skirting, worktop and for bespoke internal and external components.
The frank assessment: Verde Gloria is not a stone of effects and not an eye-catching green stone like a veined serpentinite marble. Its strength lies in a calm, natural green effect with the everyday performance of a hard rock. For kitchens, floors and projects in which green is to work without drama, this is a very usable choice.

Guide values for the stone type, taken from manufacturer and test reports. Natural stone is a natural product — individual batches and slabs can differ. For critical applications, request slab-specific test data.
Verde Gloria is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.
Polished
Polishing is the most classic finish in the hard stone segment — a mirror-smooth, high-gloss surface with the highest possible colour intensity and maximum depth effect in the mineral structure. As an acid-resistant silicate stone, polished granite is easy to care for and the first choice for kitchen worktops, wall claddings and prestigious exposed surfaces.
Care & fabrication
As a green hard rock, Verde Gloria is easy to care for. A sealing treatment is not obligatory, but is advisable on kitchen worktops — it makes cleaning and care easier and reduces visible grease and water marks.
For cleaning and care, pH-neutral natural stone cleaners and a soft microfibre cloth are sufficient. Because the stone is acid-resistant, citrus, wine or vinegar do not harm the surface — a clear advantage over green serpentinite marbles.
On polished surfaces, water marks and fingerprints are visually more apparent than on matt or textured finishes. Regular dry wiping keeps the look even. Outdoors, a slip-resistant textured finish and clean installation matter more than care chemistry. As a hard rock, Verde Gloria remains hard-wearing there over the long term.

Yes, very much so. As a hard rock, Verde Gloria is acid-resistant, scratch-resistant and easy to care for — markedly better suited to everyday use than a green marble.
Where does Verde Gloria come from?
Verde Gloria comes from Brazil and belongs there to the classical segment of green hard rocks for internal and external applications.
What finishes are available in Verde Gloria?
The finishes currently available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.
Is Verde Gloria frost-resistant?
Yes. As a hard rock, Verde Gloria is frost-resistant and very well suited to permanent external use.
How do I clean Verde Gloria?
For cleaning and care, pH-neutral natural stone cleaners and a soft cloth are sufficient. A sealing treatment is helpful on worktops, but not obligatory everywhere.
What does Verde Gloria 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.
