Aqua Blue Marble Mosaic 12x12 is a mesh-backed mosaic sheet, cut from natural marble quarried in Turkey and finished by hand in our own workshop. Chip format is 12x12. Chips sit on a straight grid, quiet enough to run the full height of a wall without fighting anything else in the room.

Surface and color. Chips are cut and calibrated, then hand-set on mesh to an even joint. Tone runs through gray and blue. Because it is quarried stone rather than a printed ceramic, no two sheets are identical and batches will not match exactly. “Aqua Blue” is the variety name for this seam of marble; it is a color designation, not a different material.

The stone. The stone is cut wet on diamond saws, which is slower than dry cutting but leaves a cleaner arris on every chip. Marble is metamorphic and dense, which is what lets it take a crisp edge on a chip this small.

Where it works. It suits a full-height backsplash, a wet-room wall, an entry feature panel or the face of a fireplace chimney breast. For floor use, check the finish against the traffic the room actually takes.

Setting it. Set it on a flat, primed substrate with a white polymer-modified thin-set; gray adhesive can shadow through a light stone. Plan the layout from the visible corner outward so any cut sheet lands where it is least seen, and dry-lay a few sheets first to mix batches.

What the photographs show. Look at the flat shot first — it tells you the chip size and the joint. Then look at the room shots: a mosaic that reads busy at arm's length often settles down completely once it covers a whole wall.
