Viola Arabescato Orobico Rosso honed Italian marble slab, 75 by 130 inches, with horizontal rose, coral, charcoal, and white quartz currents, suspended from a crane in front of the Royal Stone & Tile yard wall

Viola Arabescato Orobico Rosso is the warmer, more drawn cousin of Viola Orobico — quarried in the Orobie Alps north of Bergamo and selected for the rose-and-rust end of the family. The ground reads as a layered weather front: long horizontal currents of soft pink and warm coral, broken by deep charcoal-grey passages and crossed by sharp white quartz veining. Where Viola Orobico leans plum and silver, this lot leans coral and ash.

This slab is 2cm gauge, honed, measuring 75″ × 130″ — unusually wide for the variety and large enough to carry a single-piece kitchen island, a full waterfall return, or a fireplace wall from floor to ceiling without a seam. The honed surface is the right call for an Orobico of this size: it lets the rose pigments and charcoal banding read as drawing rather than reflection, and pairs naturally with brushed bronze, antique brass, fumed oak, and walnut.

Part of a new 34-slab shipment that landed this week from Italy. 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.
