Marble
Rosa Portogallo
No single type: colour runs from antique pink to cream. Grades are clean pink (rarest), pink with few brown, green or black veins (most of the Alentejo output) and pink with tone on tone veins.
We price it with your kitchen, measured for cutting once the cabinets are in, so it follows your walls.
