Botticino marble, marble blocks, slabs
The Botticino is located in the center in a limestone deposit of considerable purity, formed in the Jurassic period more than 200 million years ago, it is extracted from the Lombard Prealps north-east of Brescia. For the characteristics it possesses, a very precious marble must be considered, which can be used for both internal and external valuable applications at any latitude and in any environmental condition.
The physical-mechanical and structural characteristics of Botticino are characterized by a base paste made up of microcrystalline calcareous granules and calcite crystals, which is chromatically white-ivory; the veins differentiated according to the degree of diffusion of the oolites, the presence of the stylolites and the differentiated and variously sized stratification of other elements. These characteristics determine the different varieties of Botticino.
