Drag the slab to turn it, or use the arrow keys. Switching finish re-renders the surface — polished throws a hard specular, the abraded finishes open the surface up and knock the colour back.
Multicolour marble
Breccia Menia
Also sold as Breccia Egypt · Egyptian Breccia
Angular fragments of beige and brown set in a pale matrix.
A true breccia: broken fragments of older stone, re-cemented and then re-cut by us millions of years later. The pattern is aggressive and no two slabs repeat, which makes it a statement material — bar fronts, lift lobbies, single feature walls.

Photographs
Breccia Menia in the yard
We are photographing this material now. Until the shoot is done, the turning slab and the close-up below are renderings, and the honest answer to “what does it actually look like” is a sample in your hand.
No photographs yet. Ask us for the current slab and block photographs of Breccia Menia — we shoot them on request, in the yard, with a scale in frame. A cut sample goes out by courier the same week.
Laid out
Breccia Menia across a floor
A photograph shows one slab on a stand. This shows the stone tile after tile — where the pattern repeats, how far the tone drifts across a batch, and what the joint does to it. Every tile here is cut from a different part of the surface, the way material comes out of a real crate.
Indicative layout. Tone drift is deliberate — no two tiles from one batch match exactly, and a laid floor should never look like one photograph repeated.
Surface
Breccia Menia, close up
The slab above turns; this is the same stone at the size it sits in your hand. Change the finish and it re-cuts.
Roughly a 130 mm span of Breccia Menia, polished. A rendered preview, not a photograph of stock — ask for a physical sample before you specify.
