The 3D scene is generated in real time from an actual photograph of the slab and is intended as a guide. In natural stone the veining, tone and texture differ on every slab; the final choice should be made on a physical sample or slab approval.
Colour range sampled from the slab
Fosil Black is a natural stone that stands out through its unusual, striking appearance. As the name suggests, it carries fossil traces and markings — remains in white, brown or grey tones set against a black ground.
It is often chosen to create an elegant, eye-catching effect indoors, and can be used for flooring, worktops, basins and wall cladding. The fossil patterning adds a natural touch and an intriguing level of detail to a space.
Care note
Marble is sensitive to acids (lemon, vinegar, wine, limescale remover). Use a neutral pH cleaner, wipe up spills at once and impregnate every 1–2 years.
