Rojo Alicante

Directly from the southeast of Spain, Rojo Alicante is a strikingly classic Spanish marble. Celebrated for centuries, this stone features a vibrant reddish-orange base naturally threaded with delicate white calcite veins. While primarily recognized as marble, its geological origins are rooted in rich sedimentary limestone. Through centuries of regional metamorphosis, intense heat and pressure transformed the underlying limestone into a fully crystallized stone, giving Rojo Alicante the high-density strength, depth, and lustrous polished finish characteristic of traditional marble.

Finishings

Sandblasted

Blasting silica sand against the material through an air gun and generates very small craters.

Leather

Brushing the slab with a range of brushes and the result is a slightly undulating surface, very soft, warm and smooth to the touch.

Polished

Abrasive treatments with repeated applications result in a shiny surface, highlights the colour and properties of the natural stone.

Bushammered

Hitting the material, with a masonry tool called a bush hammer, that generates uniformly distributed craters of different sizes over the surface of natural stone.

Honed

A honed finish is identical to the polished finish, the surface is smooth but without glare or light reflections.

Brushed

Abrasive brushes under high pressure generate a touch-sensitive and smooth surface of natural stone.

Scratched

Scratched finish is applied so that the surface exhibits a texture with straight reliefs and natural colours.

Sawn

Rough and irregular surface with small furrows and undulations in a mate tone.

Splitted

Splitting stone either by hand or by machine so that the surface exhibits a natural quarry texture.
