I've been asked about Rojo Alicante marble three times this week, so since it has been on my mind I thought I should feature here for Slab Sunday this week.
Rojo Alicante comes from a bedrock quarry near Novelda, Spain. It is a red marble with white veining. The white veins are concentrations of white and clear calcite. The red can sometimes lean more toward orange, pink or browns, so be sure to pick out your exact slabs!
This tub from
Luxury Home Products is amaaaaazing!
I hate the word 'common' when talking about stone. I think it has a bad connotation. So ignore the connotation but Rojo Alicante is a pretty common marble. This means you will see it a lot on furniture pieces, fireplaces (like the one below from
Jerong Marble), vessel sinks, etc.
Rojo Alicante is also called Alicante Red and Rosso Alicante.

I love this gorgeous kitchen from
Baker Marble and Granite. The edge detail with the mosaic tile is awesome!
Rojo Alicante is available in 2 cm and 3 cm slabs as well as tile of all sizes, mosaics, listelles and vessel sinks.
