Unlike black stones that exude gravitas or gray stones that offer approachability, **green serpentine is the stone that truly lives its own vibrant life: with bold white veining, it appears wild and unrestrained; with dark streaks, it presents an air of refined maturity; even its most evenly distributed patterns possess a unique temperament, an uncopyable pride.** Due to its physical properties closely resembling marble, serpentine is commercially classified as such. The serpentine produced in Eastern Taiwan, known for its excellent quality, was once highly sought after worldwide and primarily exported. This intricately structured and unique stone is gradually fading from the Taiwanese scene. Beyond the older generation, modern individuals rarely have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Taiwan's green marble. This deeply regrettable fact fuels our dedication to shedding serpentine's "only the elders know" image. Through simple, natural designs, we aim to capture the attention of younger audiences, earning this distinctive Taiwanese stone more appreciation and recognition. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53981887709_3d679fef41_b.jpg VERDE is the lifestyle brand under Santai Mining, the only domestic company continuously and comprehensively mining serpentine building materials. Its establishment and product design are dedicated to showcasing the natural beauty of Taiwanese serpentine through minimalist designs. Originating from Taiwan, we aspire to bring serpentine design products to the international stage. Beyond hoping to introduce more people to the inherent beauty of green marble, we are **deeply proud of Taiwan's significant asset, "serpentine," and envision a future where people worldwide will recognize the excellence of Taiwanese marble.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53980682397_f644fce019_b.jpg - Serpentine (also known as Jade-veined stone): A marble quarried in Hualien, Taiwan, containing various mineral crystals, with diverse colors and textures ranging from light to deep, inky green. - All VERDE flat products are **unpainted**! We achieve a natural luster through polishing, ensuring they are safe and worry-free for use as food plates. - While marble typically conveys a sense of hardness, it possesses a delicate inner structure. Impacts or drops can lead to cracks, so please handle with care. - Marble surfaces have porous "breathing" pores, meaning dark liquids (e.g., red wine, coffee) can be absorbed. Wipe up spills immediately. - VERDE's founding principle is to cherish the natural beauty of marble. Therefore, if you cannot accept variations in pattern (as these are not custom-made), please refrain from ordering. - If the product is severely damaged during shipping upon unboxing, please retain the packaging and contact us immediately for an exchange of the same item. Claims made more than seven days after receipt will not be processed. - For any usage-related inquiries, feel free to contact us via Facebook or Instagram at any time. We will respond promptly.
