Marble notes:
Verde Antico marble is a breccia of serpentinite, schistose calc-silicate and crystallite marble clasps in a lime-green serpentine matrix, from Larissa, Thessaly, Greece, the quarries were re-opened sometime between 1895- 1905, for the first time since the reign of the Emperor Justinian (483-565) A similar type marble has been obtained in later years from Northern Italy that was both cheaper and faster to extract. Examples of this can be found all over the world, circa 1930 Cartier used this stone to front its Jewelry stores, Fifth Ave is a good example.
Verde Antico from Thessaly is thought to have been used architecturally at least since the 1st century CE, this green 'marble' became a popular decorative choice in the Roman Imperial era and found wide appreciation by later Roman and Byzantine builders. We are told much was quarried from this coastal area in Northern Greece, this stone was used especially by the 4th century CE in numerous liturgical buildings constructed by Constantine the Great and would come to embody through polychromatic palette the ideas of Roman luxury, wealth and power.
