Vietnamese marble renowned for its brilliance, highlighted by pure crystalline white tones.
Tipologia: CRYSTAL MARBLE
Finiture: POLISHED, HONED
Colore: PURE CRYSTALLINE WHITE
Crystal White marble, also known as White Vietnam or Snow White, is a material particularly appreciated for its purity, guaranteed by the pure white color and characterized by the presence of quartz crystals of varying sizes.
This marble is extracted from the mountains of the province of Thanh Hoa, in Vietnam. The geological formations of the quarry date back to the period between the end of the Neoproterozoic and the Cambrian, between 580 and 485 million years ago.
Crystal White marble is characterized by a grain composed of quartz crystals of sizes that can vary from one block to another. Its surface can be characterized by veins and nuances due to natural geological processes. This marble is mainly formed by calcium carbonates.
The most appreciated quality of Crystal White marble is certainly the whitest and purest, even if the variations with the presence of shades can add to each project a touch of uniqueness and movement, creating wonderful visual effects.
It is an elegant and refined stone, ideal for interior design applications.
Below are the main technical characteristics of Crystal White – White Vietnam marble:
Thanks to its elegance, refinement and versatility, this marble is suitable for use in various applications, mainly indoors.
The good technical characteristics of durability and resistance, in fact, make it a material suitable for floors, coatings, kitchen countertops within residential and commercial projects.
In addition, it is used in the creation of decorative objects, such as sculptures, vases and other architectural elements, and in design furnishings such as tables and bathroom tops.
This crystalline marble gives an elegant and refined touch to all the environments in which it is used. The most suitable finish to fully enhance its aesthetic qualities is that polish, able to enhance the brilliance and give every room shine and splendour. In many projects are also used slabs with honed surface, a finish that makes the Vietnam white opaquer but not for this less impact.
Thanks to the good technical characteristics it is possible to make additional finishes on the slabs, upon specific customer request.
The terms “Crystal White” and “White Vietnam” are often associated with artificial products, such as ceramics and stoneware. These materials reproduce the visual effect of marble but have nothing in common with natural stone in technical and aesthetic terms. Technically they have the typical limitations of these products: slab thicknesses and finishes are rather limited.
On the aesthetic front, products such as stoneware and ceramics are characterized by uniformity and standardization that negate the distinctive characteristics of natural stone, namely the uniqueness and variability of the individual slabs.
We summarize below the main differences between artificial products and Crystal White – White Vietnam:
ARTIFICIAL PRODUCT | ORIGINAL PIETRA GREY |
Possible thicknesses 6 or 12 mm | Any thickness achievable |
Limited surfaces available | Multiple finishes possible |
Standardised format and structure | Uniqueness of each slab |
Uniform background colour without shades | Variable background colour with natural shades |
