Veined Marble

marmo venato

Il marmo venato è quindi contraddistinto da striature che risaltano sul fondo omogeneo della superficie lapidea denominate venature marmo. La venatura del marmo, però, non è sempre uguale ma al contrario le vene possono differire tra loro per colore, direzione, andamento, spessore; inoltre le venature marmo possono essere più o meno marcate oppure più o meno fitte.

Depending on the type of marble veining, there are consequently different veined marbles. The main types of veining to categorize veined marbles are the following:

  • Linear veining: these are long marble veinings with continuous, unidirectional and sometimes bifurcated patterns.
  • Tree-shaped marble veining: the opposite of linear veinings as in this case the marble veinings are multidirectional and do not follow a coherent pattern but appear more like a branching.
  • Brecciated marble veining: these marble veinings appear as if thick dark materials surrounded islands of empty and clean spaces.
    Brocaded marble veining: similar to brecciated marble veining but with smaller fragments.

As we well know, white and crystalline marble has been considered the marble par excellence for centuries and is still the most desired today due to its pure white color and free from impurities. However, there has been a progressive increase in requests for veined marbles, even in the presence of more particular veinings and chromatic traits.

Veined marble, on the other hand, is by its very nature the most suitable for highlighting the uniqueness of the stone and its unique and unrepeatable patterns. Furthermore, the veining of veined marble is able to successfully confer movement and dynamism to the environment in which it is inserted like no other type of marble.
