Though most closely related to marble, serpentine is technically not a “true marble,” it is by definition a metamorphic limestone. Often called a “green marble,” serpentine is usually dark green with white veining. This look is sought in luxury bathrooms and grand entrances alike.
It is a relatively hard stone and does not scratch as easily as a “true marble.” Because of its composition and sensitivity to harsh elements, it is not recommended for out door usage.
Material note: Because of the veining often found in serpentine, mesh reinforcement is generally required. Consideration should be given to the actual use and supporting substructure.
Classification: Metamorphic
Examples: Emerald Green
