Archstone ROJO ALICANTE 50.8 x 104.5 x 10mm Honed Mosaic – VM1736 (S)

Rojo Alicante is a rich and vibrant natural marble quarried in the Alicante region of south eastern Spain, an area well known for its abundant reserves of high-quality decorative stone. This marble is celebrated for its deep reddish-orange to terracotta base, interwoven with white to cream veining, occasional fossil traces, and natural calcite patterns — creating a warm, earthy elegance that adds character to any space.

The striking colour and classic veining of Rojo Alicante make it a popular choice for traditional and Mediterranean-inspired interiors, as well as bold contemporary applications. It is often used in flooring, wall cladding, columns, staircases, and decorative architectural elements, lending a sense of warmth and grandeur to both residential and commercial spaces.

Geologically, Rojo Alicante is a limestone-based marble composed primarily of calcium carbonate, with occasional visible fossilised shells and organic matter — natural reminders of its sedimentary origins. While it has good structural integrity, like all marbles, it is porous and should be sealed to protect against staining, etching, and moisture damage.

Natural variations may include veining contrast, fossil inclusions, calcite streaks, and taroli (small surface pits or craters), all of which are considered part of the stone’s authentic character.

This is considered normal:

• Vein intensity and pattern variation: Expected and valued as part of its natural aesthetic.

• Fossil or shell inclusions: Common in Rojo Alicante and embraced for their organic appeal.

• Surface pits (taroli): Acceptable if less than 5mm and not overly concentrated.

Rojo Alicante brings a sense of timeless warmth and Mediterranean charm — a bold, natural expression ideal for richly layered interiors and statement surfaces.
