When cut in its length, Florentine marble - also known as “paesine” or “landscape stone” - reveals landscape-like scenes and decors. Such hidden treasures are the results of water carrying iron and manganese oxides, infiltrating the blocks of rock over the centuries, gradually coloring them at random. While many of the cuts recall seaside landscapes, I chose this one as it reminded me of the beautiful canyons and deserts of the Southwest. by annacaradeuc http://ift.tt/1ZU8pkF
