About this stone
Sunny Menia Marble is a radiant Egyptian natural marble with a warm golden colour and subtle veining, offering a luminous, elegant look suited to both classic and contemporary designs, and is available at Al Etihad Stone in various finishes, slabs, tiles, and custom sizes. Born from the metamorphism of limestone under intense heat and pressure deep beneath the Earth's surface, it marries durability with captivating aesthetics, with each polished slab bathed in a warm golden hue and adorned with subtle veining that adds depth and character, creating a mesmerizing play of light for spaces that call for a touch of opulence. Quarried from select locations in Menia, Egypt, it carries the legacy of a region with a rich geological history, and beyond its aesthetic appeal it is a durable material: with regular cleaning using mild, pH-balanced cleaners and periodic sealant application, its golden glow endures for years, making it a resilient choice for flooring, countertops, and beyond.
