Forest Green is a fine-grained granite sourced from India, known for its deep green hue and subtle veining that adds depth and character to any space. The stone’s balanced grain structure offers durability and a refined appearance, making it ideal for high-traffic floors, countertops, and architectural facades. Its natural green tones complement both contemporary and traditional designs, while the stone’s inherent strength ensures long-lasting performance. Marmi di Carrara supplies Forest Green in ready-to-install slabs of 2–3 cm thickness, as well as custom-cut blocks to meet precise project specifications. Clients can view high-resolution photos of actual slabs before purchase, ensuring confidence in the final product.

Forest Green marble: the complete guide
Overview
Forest Green (Rain Forest Green) is an Indian green marble with brown veins that recall branches and leaves. Natural and dramatic, it brings the forest indoors.
History and origin
It comes from India, a major producer of ornamental stones. The name Rain Forest describes the pattern of branches and trunks crossing the slabs. It is widely used for feature walls and bathrooms. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Appearance
A green background with brown and golden veins branching like trees. There is also a Forest Brown variant with a brown background.
Uses
Feature walls, bathrooms, table tops, receptions and cladding. Recommended for indoor use.
Care and maintenance
Clean with water and pH-neutral detergents, drying with a soft cloth; avoid acids, bleach and abrasive products. A water- and oil-repellent treatment after installation reduces staining and should be renewed periodically in busy areas. Professional honing and polishing remove scratches and dullness.
