THE WHITE COLLECTION Illirico Bianco Illirico Bianco comes from the Company’s quarry at Malishevë in Kosovo and is named for the Albanian lands of Classical antiquity, Illyria. It comes in a range of shades and grades which are shown in the slab photographs that follow. It is a classic modern dimension stone with some fossils and calcitic patterning which perfectly complement its twin, Illirico Selene. As the quarry has developed and deepened so the stone has become progressively more dense and uniform. When placed or used together the two Illirico marbles are almost irresistible as a pairing.

Illirico Superiore is, in effect the deep quarry variant of Illirico Bianco. It is much denser and has far fewer fossils and calcitic markings but it retains the warm white colouration of the Illirico Bianco. In small samples it can appear completely uniform in colour and pattern but there is still movement visible at the scale of a slab as shown below. It has attracted a great deal of client interest and has recently been installed in a highly prestigious development in central London.
