Type-level physical facts shown. Per-lot lab values (absorption, flexural strength) confirmed at quotation.
Yes, though production is intermittent and volumes are limited. The Larissa quarries in Thessaly are the historic and current source. Given its rarity, availability must be confirmed before specification, and reclaimed material from historic buildings also exists in the market.
It is a serpentinite breccia: angular fragments of dark green serpentinized rock cemented together by white and pale green calcite veining, creating an irregular mosaic pattern. The colour ranges from deep forest green to olive, varying by quarry block.
