FEATURES

In these areas the colour varies from pinkish to brick red. Rosso Verona is a red marble. It has a background tone tending towards brick red/brown with alternating colours from pinkish to red and many shades due to the various concentrations of hematite or iron oxide. It is a nodular fossiliferous limestone, due to the presence of fossil ammonites, with a clay component and rounded intrusions scattered across the surface. The overall colour is varied and may have yellowish and brownish intrusions. The red colouring fades especially in the more superficial areas, tending to pink, beige and ivory; even in these cases the stone retains its nodular character.
