Description

The Light Emperador is a light brown coloured marble, with fine grain and abundant irregular and crossed yellowish veinage. It presents some occasional white calcite with small do medium dimension. Its main variations depend on the honey tonality that it can be more or less dark and uniform.

The genuine Light Emperador presents some clear white areas (called pearls). But because of the advanced age and exploration of quarries, it has become a rarity.

In terms of hardness, the Light Emperador is considered a hard natural stone.
