Green Stone FAQs

How to best use green natural stone for interior design?

Green natural stone can be used in a variety of ways as part of your interior design style. You can incorporate vivid and colorful types of green stone as a feature–such as a wall, tabletop or splashback–or you can opt for a light green natural stone wall cladding across an entire room. Green is traditionally used to help evoke a sense of nature and bring a calming, relaxing aesthetic to a space. Combined with white or neutral tones elsewhere in the space, green can be bright and colorful without being overwhelming. 

Which is the most common green natural stone?

There are actually a few different types of green stones. Normally, when one thinks of green stones emerald gemstones come to mind. These green versions of the stone beryl are commonly used in jewelry and other applications. However, when it comes to using natural stone in construction, a surprising amount of stone types come in shades of green as well. You can find both dark and light green natural stone in marble, limestone, travertine and onyx, including right here in the Euro Marble showroom. 

What makes natural stones green?

Green natural stones can be produced in a variety of ways. Each type of stone is formed in the Earth in unique processes with the various mineral components–as well as the process itself–contributing to its colour, shade, patterns and hue. Generally, the different types of green stones will have traces of vanadium, iron or chromium in them. Sometimes, even some manganese within the stone can produce a green coloring. The level of translucency as well as the darkness of the green coloring are all dependent on the differing concentrations of these minerals.
