VERDE SALVAN

Verde Salvan is a gneiss quarried in Switzerland. Formed from detrital sedimentary rocks approximately 290 million years ago, Verde Salvan, also called “ « Vert des Glaciers », dates back to an era before the formation of the Alps. Being renowned for its exceptional hardness and siliceous cement composition, this ancient stone has been widely used in Swiss and German architecture due to its aesthetic appeal and its incredible resistance to frost, weathering and sun. Its deep green color with a coarse texture, typical of conglomerates, offers a distinctive look. Beyond architecture, Verde Salvan is a popular choice for outdoor installations such as fountains and artistic works. Its robust properties allow it to withstand varying climates and remain beautiful over time, making it a prized material for both functional and decorative purposes.

The gneiss being a natural product, these samples are average which are liable to vary. We will always endeavor to maintain consistency, at least as close as possible, but resemblance cannot be guaranteed.
