| Comments: |
This grey and white stone strongly resembles no.638 in Mielsch (1985), a bardiglio from Carrara, Italy. However Italian experts have informed us that the yellow colouring is not seen in marbles from this area. It has also been suggested that this is a rare grey cipollino from Euboea, Greece. The provenance remains uncertain.
