Snow Forest presents a pale, cool‑toned canvas flecked with soft grey, charcoal, and faint greenish veins that meander like leafless branches across snow—its subtle translucency and high‑polish potential lend large surfaces a quiet, luminous presence. Veining ranges from wispy linear strokes to dramatic dendritic movement—layered, directional markings suggest depth and perspective, allowing book‑matched slabs to read like abstract ink landscapes that change mood with light and orientation.
Snow Forest is frequently specified for full‑height shower walls, reception feature walls, long kitchen islands, fireplace surrounds, and vanity tops—its durability as a hard marble or quartzite and available honed or polished finishes suit both vertical and horizontal uses. The stone’s soft grey and green‑taupe veining provides visual movement and forgiving patina—masking minor wear and staining while delivering a refined, natural character that performs well with regular sealing and appropriate finish selection.

Premium / First (A)
Typical compressive strength: ~120–180 MPa for hard marbles; quartzites commonly up to ~190 MPa or higher
Indicative impact test — minimum fall height: 40–80 cm
Approx. 2600–2800 kg/m³
Typical water absorption: 0.1–0.5% by weight for dense hard marble/quartzite lots; more porous batches may be higher.
Linear coefficient of thermal expansion: approximately 5–7 × 10⁻⁶ /°C
Flexural strength (modulus of rupture): typically 8–18 MPa for slabs tested perpendicular to bedding; resin‑backed or reinforced panels may differ.
