Description

• Material: Natural marble — Asian Statuary (also known as Oriental White) — prized for its bright (almost milky) white base with clean to dramatic grey veining. 
• Finish: Polished (high gloss, reflective) or Honed (more matte / softer, subdued sheen) to suit different aesthetic preferences and lighting. 
• Size(s) available: 12″ × 12″ mosaic sheet (nominal). (Exact pattern of the mosaic (shape of tesserae) would depend on the specific design in your listing.)
• Thickness: Typically around 10 mm (≈ 3⁄8″), which is a standard thickness for marble mosaic tiles of this type.
• Application ideas:
    • Backsplashes in kitchens or baths
    • Accent walls or decorative panels
    • Shower walls or niches (with proper sealing and waterproofing)
    • Light-traffic residential flooring or inset floor areas
    • Countertop perimeters or decorative trims
• Style: Asian Statuary, marble mosaic, calm white & grey, refined elegance, polished/honed duality, architectural accent, timeless luxury.

Key Features

• Luminous White Base with Distinct Veining: The marble gives a clean, premium look; the veining adds drama without overwhelming.
• Finish Flexibility: Polished brings reflective glamour; honed reduces glare, helps with slip, and gives more muted tones.
• Versatile Format: 12″ × 12″ mosaic gives flexibility — easier to work into various patterns, allows for grout and pattern creativity.

Care & Maintenance

• Installation Tips:
    • Dry-lay mosaic sheets to ensure pattern flow and visual consistency of veining.
    • Use white or light colored thin-set mortar to maintain bright tones.
    • Grout joints should be kept reasonably narrow (≈ 1⁄16-¼″ depending on mosaic tesserae), and grout color should be chosen to harmonize with grey veining.
• Sealing: Seal prior to grouting, and again after grout cures. Re-seal periodically especially in wet or high humidity areas.
• Cleaning: Use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid acidic / bleach / harsh chemicals. Soft cloths or sponges are safer on marble surfaces.
• Natural Variation: Marble by nature will vary — in vein pattern, in shade of white, in intensity of grey. These differences add character; inspect sheets pre-installation to ensure you get the look you want across the installation.
