Exceptional materials from the Ossola Region
Gruppo Tosco Marmi works exclusively with natural stones sourced from carefully selected quarries and specializes in materials extracted from the Ossola Valley, such as Serizzo, Beole, and Montorfano White Granite. It also offers stones from nearby Canton Ticino, including Lodrino, Iragna, and Maggia.
Palissandro Marble®
Palissandro® marble is a stone of extraordinary beauty, enriched with tiny luminous crystals that shimmer like a cascade of diamond-like gems.
Its uniqueness is also reflected in its remarkable variety of expressions. Within the same extraction site at the Crevoladossola quarry, significant color variations can be observed, ranging from shades of white, beige, and blue. Additionally, the texture of the rock varies, resulting in different commercial classifications of the extracted material.
Palissandro® marble is a rock of rare beauty and great resistance.
The Crevoladossola quarry, located in Piedmont, Italy, and owned by Gruppo Tosco Marmi, yields a one-of-a-kind chromatic variety of Palissandro®. Its veins range from pure white to beige-brown, blue, and even black, creating a truly unique marble. The Palissandro® shades are categorized into three main families:
White & Beige
P. Classico, P. Bronzetto, P. Bronzo Brown, and P. Oniciato
Blue
P. Bluette, P. Blu nuvolato, P. Fiorito, and P. Blue
Exclusive
P. Tigrato, P. Bronzo, and P. Reale
Granite Eclisseo
The granite Eclisseo from the Palissandro® quarry in Crevoladossola is characterized by an intense black color illuminated by silver reflections. Its modern tone and intrinsic hardness make it suitable for large-scale works such as building cladding and large pavements.
Granite, Beole, Serizzo
Stone belonging to the granite family is highly valued for its physical and mechanical characteristics, its aesthetic qualities and the versatility of uses.
This stone is hard, compact, waterproof, and resistant to fire, ice and other harsh weather conditions.
Granite can be used for interior design and construction. Its uses are veneer walls, interior and exterior flooring, stairways, balconies, windowsills, fireplaces, tables, kitchen countertops, bath vanities and outdoor furniture. In addition, it is perfect for well ventilated exterior façade finishes of prominent buildings and for funerary art.
Macchiavecchia
Located in Ticino, Switzerland in the underground depths of a prehistoric seabed lies the Arzo quarry which extracts Macchiavecchia marble. A polychromatic calcareous marble. The geological movements that led to the formation of this rock caused it to fragment and crystallise with other minerals, giving it a very varied chromatic colour with exquisite bold-coloured veins of red to yellow to olive green and even white.
Gray Marble
Grey marbles are made of precious calcareous rock that have a variety of chromatic colours, with veins that range from dark grey to light grey and some even have a touch of red.
They are greatly valued for their decorative and polishing capacities, qualities which attract project designers. They are used in innovative contemporary design projects and architecture, especially for immense spaces.
