Oyster White and Oyster Green by Marmi Orobici Graniti are marbles of extraordinary beauty, combining delicate pearly white tones with flowing veins of sage, green, grey, and occasionally golden accents. Particularly well-suited for book-match slabs, this marble reveals soft specular patterns that adorn surfaces like incredible natural works of art, making it the ideal material for dramatic feature walls with strong visual impact.
Oyster marble is composed mainly of calcite, with a small proportion of minerals that give it its delicate green, grey, and golden shades. As a crystalline marble of medium hardness, this type of stone offers good compressive strength and excellent polishing. Its compact structure makes it suitable for interior use and ideal for large wall applications.
Formed millions of years ago through the erosion and metamorphosis of marine carbonates under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, this slow geological process created the wavy stratifications that make it unlike any other marble.
It is quarried in Namibia, in an area renowned for the extraction of high-quality marbles. Local quarries are distinguished by sustainable techniques and a careful focus on selecting the perfect block. It is then processed and enhanced through the mastery of Italian craftsmanship.
This material is ideal for wall claddings, floors, bathroom or kitchen tops, and decorative details that create unique designs. Very popular among architects and interior designers, its surface recalls the shell of the oyster, queen among all seashells.
Thanks to its unique aesthetic, it has been chosen for luxury hotels, high-fashion boutiques, and private residences all over the world, where it becomes the protagonist of interior design projects and leaves speechless those who are lucky enough to admire it.
