Vermont Verde Antique: complete guide
Overview
Vermont Verde Antique is a dark green stone with white veins, sold as marble but serpentinite in nature. It is chosen for its deep colour and for resistance superior to that of calcitic marbles.
History and origin
It comes from Vermont and is one of the best-known greens on the North American market. Geologically it is a serpentinite, a rock different from true marble, although in the trade it is classed among the green marbles. In the United States it has long been used for cladding, tops and window sills. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Appearance
The background ranges from bottle green to almost black green, with networks and veins of white or light green. The pattern is irregular and changes considerably from slab to slab. Polishing enhances the depth of the colour, while honing makes it darker and velvety.
Uses
Recommended for kitchen and bathroom tops, cladding, fireplaces, floors and interior stairs. It is one of the few marble-like stones that stands up well to kitchen use. For exteriors a specific technical assessment of the individual batch is needed.
Care and maintenance
Clean with neutral detergents and dry surfaces after use. A light water-repellent helps keep the colour even. Avoid aggressive and abrasive products, which can mark the polish.
