The Colour Collection THE COLOUR COLLECTION Etrusco Dorato Etrusco Dorato is, like Breccia Paradisea, from the quarry at Syriganë. This is a rare and unusual brecciated limestone which caused quite a stir when first shown to customers in 2015. Visually striking in slab form, its kaleidoscopic beauty is revealed when it is book matched as can be seen below and in the Inspiration section.

It is unusual to find such patterning in marbles of this quality and demand has been high. As with Etrusco Dorato, the real beauty of this stone comes out when it is book matched as all designers have known since time immemorial. It is particularly effective as a complement to more neutral materials such as Alexandrian and is shown as such in a fine bathroom in the Lifestyle section.
