Bluette
With bluish tones and large patches of gray with black veins, the Bluette marble from the Fonte da Moura quarry is a stone of great sobriety and coldness. The bookmatched slab installation of Bluette marble creates surfaces that are both austere and spectacular, reminiscent of the heart of the mountains or the fur of exotic animals.
