Olivetti VIOLA ORO Honed Artisan Cut Mosaic – VM1227

Our OLIVETTI Stone Mosaic Collection is inspired by ancient mosaic floors stretching back to Roman mosaics as seen at the Coliseum. The beautiful, detailed natural Artisan finish captures this timeless quality of hand cut stone with clear horizontal line reflecting stone strata. Olivetti Sheets are interlocking.

Viola Oro is a striking and luxurious natural marble quarried in Italy, admired for its bold colour contrast and distinctive veining. As its name suggests — “Viola” meaning violet and “Oro” meaning gold — this marble features a creamy white to warm ivory base, dramatically intersected by rich deep violet, burgundy, or aubergine-toned veins, often accented with touches of gold, ochre, or amber mineralisation.

This visually expressive stone is often chosen for high-impact design applications where natural beauty and statement aesthetics are desired. Due to its rare colour composition and dramatic patterning, Viola Oro is especially popular in boutique residential projects, luxury retail spaces, and artistic installations.

Geologically, Viola Oro is a calcium carbonate-based marble, making it moderately durable but still sensitive to acids, oils, and abrasive cleaners. Like most marbles, it should be sealed and maintained regularly to protect its vivid colouring and polish. It is suitable for interior applications such as feature walls, splashbacks, vanities, decorative accents, and low-traffic floors.

Unique natural characteristics may include colour banding, crystal inclusions, and taroli (small pits or natural indentations), which are all a testament to the stone’s authenticity and geological origin. Viola Oro is a bold celebration of nature’s artistry — a show-stopping stone that brings opulence, colour, and individuality to any space.

This is considered normal:

Dramatic veining and tonal shifts: Expected and valued; each slab is visually unique.
Quartz or mineral inclusions: Acceptable in any shape or size; often add depth and sparkle.
Surface pits (taroli): Acceptable if under 5mm and not overly concentrated.

Natural characteristics may include ghiacciolo (ice-like) quartz crystal patches, taroli (small surface craters), and subtle veining shifts — each a hallmark of the stone’s authenticity and geological formation.

While visually durable, like all marbles, it remains susceptible to etching and staining from acidic substances and should be properly sealed and cared for.

With a sense of calm, warmth, and refinement, Voila Oro is a versatile and enduring choice for residential and commercial interiors alike. Its classic beauty and rich Italian heritage make it a staple in luxury design around the world.
