Albero is a Spanish granite characterised by a uniform light‑grey tone and a granular allotriomorphic texture. The medium‑sized grains give the stone a subtle speckled appearance, while occasional muscovite flakes add a faint shimmer. Its compact structure and irregular fracture make it highly durable, suitable for both interior and exterior applications such as flooring, wall cladding, countertops and outdoor paving. Albero performs well with polished, honed or brushed finishes, each highlighting its natural elegance. Marmi di Carrara supplies Albero in 2‑3 cm thick blocks and slabs, offering cut‑to‑size services and providing real‑time photos of the slabs before purchase.
