Green marble is among the rarest and most visually striking natural stones available. Empress Green — a deep, rich green marble with natural veining — stands apart from the neutral palette of most natural stone tile collections. Its color comes from mineral content (serpentine and other green minerals) present during quarrying, making each piece genuinely distinctive. Works most effectively in limited, deliberate applications: a bathroom floor, a feature wall panel, a fireplace surround, or an entry floor where the stone's color is the design statement. Pairs naturally with warm brass and gold hardware, natural wood, and cream or off-white walls. Also appears in select checkerboard combinations, and Ming Green (a related green marble family) appears as an accent stone in numerous Calacatta Gold and white-marble mosaics. Available in field tile in 12x12 and 18x18 in polished, honed, and tumbled finishes. Seal before installation — assess actual samples before ordering, as green marble variation is significant. Order one sample for $7.95, or choose any 5 for $25, with free standard shipping on sample-only orders.
