Good to know

Why does Rosso Verona show fossils?

It is a nodular limestone (Rosso Ammonitico) rich in ammonite fossils — part of its character. Lots vary, so slab selection matters.

Is the colour consistent?

It ranges from pink to deep red-brown across the bed. Specify the tone you want and we match lots; do not expect a single flat colour.
