Mist Silk Marble is an elegant natural stone quarried in China. It is distinguished by a white to light ivory background adorned with khaki to jade green water wave-like veins and spotty patterns, giving it a soft, flowing appearance reminiscent of silk in motion. This unique aesthetic makes it highly sought after for luxurious architectural and interior applications.

Texture & Pattern

Texture: Fine to medium-grained crystalline marble with a smooth, compact structure that accepts a high polish.

Pattern: Characterized by delicate khaki to jade green veins and spots arranged in flowing, water-wave patterns across a white background. These natural variations make each slab unique.
