Agree with Jan. Matching a natural stone is next to impossible. As quarries deplete over time the ‘look’ of the marble changes. If the quarry that this marble came out of is even still there, it is very likely the product coming out of it won’t match.

If you like the look, and would like to replicate it with all new product, there certainly are lovely green-veined marbles out there.

Never going to happen . Is the part you want the marble next to this marble?

My guess is this is not original. And, as everyone has said, yo'll never find a match.

The green serpentine marble by the fireplace is the more durable and better choice. Perhaps you should attempt to match in the other direction.

Thank you, but it is not our taste. i really can’t believe I’ve lived with it this long without tearing it out. But it’s good to be reminded someone else might like it, if I manage to pull it up in one piece I’ll offer it on freecycle so someone can appreciate it.

we don’t walk on the area next to the fireplace so that kind of durability is not really a concern.

No offense, but the entry tile is not all that special; they ( hearth and foyer) don't even seem to be the same! Change them both to something you love. For heavens sake, white marble has been walked on for hundreds of years.

If marble tile cracks, ? Someone installed on a bad SUB floor, with inadequate leveling or prep.

thanks for your comment. People have different taste. I’m not actually asking for advice about the marble in my entryway, I am not replacing it I want to match it because I love it (even if it’s not special). And I understand that you are trying to help me here so thank you but that is not what I’m asking. My original question:

does anyone know the name of white marble that has green veins? I don’t want green marble and I absolutely do not want green serpentine marble. I don’t care about durability at the hearth. I am not looking to redo my entryway, I simply want to remove what is at the base of my fireplace with white marble that has green (not grey) veining.

can you take a better picture of it? you said you aren't sure it's even marble. maybe it's a good ceramic, or a slate, or??

the closest looking marble like that is Statuario, but it's gray/white.

It may have been gray to start but has taken on a greenish cast after all this time.

There is a Calacatta Verde, but it's prob very expensive and I don't think that's it.

without a better picture it's hard to tell.

what exactly is it that you want to do? all you've posted is a close-up of this tile. Show us the entire picture of the space/issue that you want to address.

Thank you immensely, I posted pictures but deleted them because it seemed to be confusing people and derailing the conversation. Apparently the hearth has what is known as green serpentine marble and we strongly dislike it.

This is a tiny project of pulling up the serpentine marble and putting down about 12 white marble tiles. That is all we want to do. The entryway has the white marble green veining that we are seeking to match and is about 18 feet from the fireplace. i don’t expect an exact match, but was wondering if there was such a thing as white marble with green veining.

Your post was very helpful. That tile looks closest to what we have. I have no idea if grey veins could turn green over some years. Someone commented that they don’t think my white tiles are original to the house so not sure exactly how old they are.

I don’t care how much it costs, cost is not an issue with such a small project. It is more a visual thing for us than a practical one. With that said, we both have experience with design, tiling, and construction so we aren’t going to just slap it down (but we are not seeking advice on installation).

I have learned it is definitely marble that has a honed surface. I really like that matte surface. The serpentine marble is polished and we dislike both the finish and color. This is simply personal taste and not meant to offend anyone who loves it.

The problem is a material one: we don’t know marble

since it's far enough away, I think you could get away w/using something different, but similar. (and no, I hardly think it's original to the home. they didn't use that in Tudors)

they do have a green marble (Verde Green)

Verdi Alpi tumbled marble. (this comes in polished too)

Or, Ming Green marble.

any of the heavily veined white marble like the statuary or arabescato marble.

Thank you, that was kind of you to take the time to post these.

You could try a salvage /reclaim yard

When I saw your floor tiles my first thought was granite. I know granite comes in MANY forms of green.

I googled green granite and came upon DOZENS of 'near matches' for your flooring tiles:

Here's a link for green quartzite (which gets you closer to the green/white mix you have):

https://www.marblesystems.com/product/emerald-green-polished-quartzite-slab-random-1-1-4/

If you click the link you will see how close this is to your existing tiles. I wonder if you move away from the word and start searching granite or quartzite you will have better luck.

Great thank you. That is not something I have looked into but I will definitely take a look!

I’m no help at all, but am sorry that you deleted pics of the area in question. I’d like to visualize the project you are considering. Good luck finding the material you are seeking
