It is neither as stately as black stone, nor as approachable as grey stone. However, **green serpentine is the stone that truly lives out its own vibrant colors: with a touch of large white patterns, it appears wild and unrestrained; with a hint of black veins, it looks elegant and mature; even surfaces with the most evenly distributed patterns exhibit a distinctive temperament—an uncopyable pride.** Due to its physical properties being similar to marble, serpentine is commercially classified as marble. The serpentine produced in eastern Taiwan, known for its excellent quality, was once highly prized worldwide and primarily exported. This structurally complex and unique stone has gradually faded from prominence in Taiwan. Aside from the older generation, modern individuals rarely have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Taiwan's green marble. This is a regrettable situation, which is why there is a continuous effort to shed serpentine's image of being known only to elders, and to capture the attention of younger generations through simple, natural designs, thereby earning more admiration and recognition for this special Taiwanese stone. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53981887709_3d679fef41_b.jpg VERDE is the lifestyle brand under San Tai Mining, the only company in Taiwan continuously engaged in the full-scale quarrying of serpentine for construction materials. Its establishment and product designs are dedicated to showcasing the natural beauty of Taiwanese serpentine through minimalist designs. Originating from Taiwan, we aspire to bring serpentine design products to the international stage. Beyond allowing more people to recognize the inherent beauty of green marble, it is more importantly about **being deeply proud of Taiwan's important asset, "serpentine," and hoping that one day, more people worldwide will know the excellence of Taiwanese marble.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53980682397_f644fce019_b.jpg - Serpentine (also known as Jade Vein Stone): A marble from Hualien, Taiwan, containing various mineral crystals with diverse colors and textures, ranging from light to deep emerald green. - All VERDE flat products are left UNTREATED with paint! They are polished to retain their natural luster and ensure they are safe for use as food plates. - Marble is generally perceived as hard, but it actually has a delicate inner structure. Collisions or drops can cause cracks, so please handle with care. - Marble surfaces have porous "breathing" pores, meaning dark liquids (e.g., red wine, coffee) can be absorbed. If spilled, wipe them up quickly. - 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 severe damage is discovered during unboxing due to transit, please retain the packaging and contact us immediately for an exchange of the same item.
