Rosa Portugal
SKU0007
Rosa Portugal is an umbrella name for the celebrated pink marbles quarried around Vila Viçosa and Estremoz. Tones range from delicate blush to mid-rose, animated by slender charcoal-grey veins and the occasional wine-red accent. Each block displays its own balance of colour and pattern, yet all share the unmistakable crystalline clarity that makes Portuguese pinks sought-after for refined, light-filled interiors.
