rojo alicante.
the red with white veins.

An intense red marble with white calcite veins, quarried in Alicante. We have direct quarry access, so you can choose the block and the tone. It changes a lot with format and finish: polished brings out all the red and the veining; sandblasted or bush-hammered lightens it to a matt tone, perfect in opus format for exteriors.

the same stone, another reading.

As a polished slab, Rojo Alicante is intense with strongly marked veining. In opus format (rectangular pieces of several sizes) and sandblasted, it lightens to a warm, matt pink that suits courtyards and exterior floors. It is one of the formats architects ask for most.
