It isn't as serene and grand as black stone, nor as approachable as grey stone. However, **green serpentine stone is the stone that truly lives out its own color: with its large white patterns, it appears wild and unrestrained; with black veins, it seems elegant and mature; even surfaces with the most evenly distributed patterns exhibit a unique temperament, an uncopyable pride.** Due to its physical properties being similar to marble, serpentine stone is commercially categorized as marble. The serpentine stone produced in eastern Taiwan, known for its superior quality, was once highly sought after worldwide and primarily exported. This structurally complex and unique stone has gradually faded 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 something I find quite regrettable. Therefore, I am dedicated to helping serpentine stone shed its image of being "known only to elders," using simple, natural methods to capture the attention of younger audiences and garner more appreciation and recognition for this special, unique Taiwanese stone. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53981887709_3d679fef41_b.jpg VERDE is the lifestyle brand under Santai Mining, currently the only domestic company continuously and comprehensively mining serpentine stone for building materials. Its establishment and product design are dedicated to presenting the natural beauty of Taiwanese serpentine stone through minimalist designs. Starting from Taiwan, we aspire to bring serpentine stone design products to the international stage. Not only do we hope to introduce more people to the innate beauty of green marble, but more importantly, **we are deeply proud of Taiwan's important asset, "serpentine stone," and hope that one day more people around the world will recognize the excellence of Taiwanese marble.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53980682397_f644fce019_b.jpg - Serpentine stone (also known as jade-veined stone): A marble from Hualien, Taiwan, containing various mineral crystals with diverse colors and textures, ranging from light green to deep dark green. - VERDE's flat products are NEVER lacquered! We only polish the stone to maintain its luster while ensuring it is natural and safe for food contact. Please use it with confidence as a food plate. - Marble is generally perceived as hard, but it actually has a fragile interior. Collisions or drops can cause cracks, so please handle with care. - Marble surfaces have microscopic pores that "breathe," so 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 patterns that are "not custom-made," please do not place an order. - If you receive a severely damaged item during shipping, please retain the packaging and contact us immediately for a replacement of the same item. Claims made more than seven days after receipt will not be processed. - If you have any questions during use, please feel free to contact us via Facebook or Instagram.
