Antolini Viola GranViola marble slab, semi-polished, 63 by 110 inches, with cool grey-white ground and dense brecciated burgundy and plum veining, suspended from a crane in front of the Royal Stone & Tile yard wall

GranViola sits at the brecciated end of the Viola family. Where Calacatta Viola Classic draws long, sweeping currents and Viola Extra leans into saturated violet, GranViola fractures — the ground is cool grey-white shot through with a dense, web-like network of plum, burgundy, and oxblood veining that reads almost mosaic at a distance. The texture is geological rather than painterly, with crystalline white pockets and small mineral inclusions catching the light against the deeper field.

This slab is 2cm gauge, semi-polished, measuring 63″ × 110″ — a working size for fireplace surrounds, vanity tops, bar fronts, and feature walls where the network pattern can carry an entire elevation. The semi-polished surface is a quieter alternative to a full polish: enough sheen to wake the burgundy veining without throwing a hard reflection, and enough matte to keep the brecciated texture readable in raking light.

GranViola pairs naturally with bronze, antique brass, and warmer woods — walnut, smoked oak, fumed cherry. Against cooler palettes it works as a single accent moment rather than a field stone: a single waterfall island, a single powder-room wall, a single fireplace.

The slab is on the floor at 2303 South Sepulveda. Walk it in daylight against the yard wall and tag the piece that fits your project.
