It often serves as a backup to Italian Carrara White and is the most common and easily imitated stone pattern. It's not as stately as black stone, nor as approachable as grey stone. However, **green serpentine is the stone that truly lives out its own color: with large white patterns, it appears wild and unrestrained; with black veins, it looks elegant and mature; even the most evenly patterned surfaces display an extraordinary temperament – an uncopyable pride.** Due to its physical properties being similar to marble, serpentine is commercially classified as marble. Serpentine produced in eastern Taiwan is of excellent quality and was once highly favored worldwide, with exports forming a significant portion of its market. Yet, this structurally complex and unique stone is gradually fading from prominence in Taiwan. Apart from the older generation, modern individuals rarely have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Taiwan's green marble. This is a regrettable fact, which is why we are constantly striving to shed serpentine's image as a stone only "elders know," using simple and natural methods to capture the attention of young people and garner more appreciation and recognition for this special Taiwanese stone. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53981887709_3d679fef41_b.jpg VERDE is the lifestyle brand under Santai Mining, the only domestic entity continuously and comprehensively mining serpentine stone for construction materials. Its establishment and product design are dedicated to presenting the natural appearance of Taiwan's indigenous serpentine stone through minimalist designs. Starting from Taiwan, we aspire to bring serpentine stone design products to the international stage. We not only hope to introduce more people to the innate beauty of green marble but, more importantly, **to take immense pride in Taiwan's significant asset, "serpentine stone," and to one day let more people worldwide know the excellence of Taiwanese marble.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53980682397_f644fce019_b.jpg - Serpentine (also known as Jade Vein Stone): Sourced from Hualien, Taiwan, this marble contains various mineral crystals, with diverse colors and textures ranging from light green to deep ink green. - All VERDE flat products are "unpainted"! We achieve a natural and safe finish with luster through polishing only, so feel confident using them as food plates. - Marble often gives a hard impression, but it actually has a fragile inner nature; collisions or drops can cause cracks. Please handle with care. - Marble surfaces have pores that "breathe," meaning dark liquids (e.g., red wine, coffee) can be absorbed. If spilled, wipe dry immediately. - VERDE's original intention is for the natural beauty of marble to be cherished. Therefore, if you cannot accept non-customized patterns, please do not place an order. - If you discover severe damage during transit upon unboxing, please retain the packaging and contact us immediately for an exchange of the same item. Claims will not be processed after seven days from receipt. - If you have any questions during use, feel free to contact us anytime via Facebook or Instagram. We will respond as soon as possible.
