Marble by colour

Egyptian yellow marble

9 golden and yellow marbles from Egypt — the Sunny family from Minya, sold in Europe as Giallo Egiziano, plus Galala Gold, Golden Sinai, Khatmeya and Goldi — cut and finished in our factory in Alexandria.

Egypt is one of the few places that quarries a warm honey-to-gold marble in volume. The trade names overlap and the grades shade into one another, so this page puts all of them side by side: where each comes from and how it reads.

The Sunny family — Giallo Egiziano

Sunny Menia, Sunny Medium, Sunny Dark, Sunny Oro and Sunny Oro Light all come out of the Minya escarpment in Upper Egypt, and are the stones European buyers call Giallo Egiziano. They are grades of one bed rather than separate materials: from the lighter honey of Sunny Menia to the amber end of Sunny Dark, with the Oro grades carrying the strongest gold.
