Celebrating the natural elegance and warmth of precious stones, Gemstone has a variegated texture that alternates crystallised areas characterised by visible inclusions with more homogeneous areas where thin veins delicately embellish the surface.
Easily used across kitchen countertops, sinks, tables, shelves, steps, doors, sliding doors and curved surfaces, Gemstone palette is divided into three colours, from opalescent milky white, to pink fading towards lighter peach nuances, to violet simmering with wisteria and plum tones.
