About Breccia Aurora
Breccia Aurora is a striking Italian breccia quarried in the historic marble districts of Carrara. The stone showcases a vivid palette of pink and rose hues, with a mosaic of angular fragments that create a lively, textured surface. Its natural veining and granular pattern make it ideal for both polished and honed finishes, suitable for flooring, wall cladding, countertops, and bespoke furniture. Marmi di Carrara supplies Breccia Aurora in robust blocks and ready-to-install slabs of 2–3 cm thickness, offering cut‑to‑size services and high‑resolution photos of actual slabs before purchase, ensuring architects and designers can specify with confidence.
Typically a breccia composed of angular fragments set in a fine matrix, displaying pink and rose tones.

Finishes for Breccia Aurora
Polished
Mirror-like gloss that brings out colour and veining at full depth. The classic choice for walls, tops and interior floors; slippery when wet.
Honed
Smooth and matt, with a soft satin look. Hides small scratches and etching better than a polish and is safer underfoot.
Care and maintenance
- Clean with water and a neutral detergent made for natural stone; rinse and dry.
- Avoid acids and descalers (vinegar, lemon, anti-limescale sprays): they etch calcite and dull a polished surface.
- Seal with an impregnating protector after laying and repeat when water no longer beads, typically every 1–3 years on tops.
- Wipe wine, coffee, oil and citrus juice straight away, especially on kitchen and vanity tops.
- A dulled or scratched surface can be re-honed or re-polished on site: the stone is the same through its whole thickness.
