Creme Pardais
The warm and strong tones, streaked with black, brown and sand color make Creme Pardais an original marble. Everything about it recalls the aridity and fascination of the desert, the softness of the dunes and the roughness of the rocks. Cut by strong and dramatic veins, where colorful fragments float, or decorated very slightly by diffused honey-colored lines, this is a stone that offers any environment the dazzling presence of the natural world.
