Aesthetic Characteristics
Color: Predominantly ash grey to dark silver grey background with luxurious golden veining running in irregular patterns. Occasional lighter silver or white linear features may accentuate the dynamic contrast.
Texture: Fine- to medium-grained crystalline structure. The surface is naturally smooth and reflects light with a soft sheen when polished.
Pattern: The gold veins range from delicate hairline streaks to bold, dramatic swirls, offering a refined contrast against the grey background. The pattern is both elegant and expressive, ideal for high-end applications.
