Zaida alabaster variety
Thanks to our large-format alabaster panels, the interior of the cathedral is bathed in a warm, diffused and enveloping light, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere that blends in with the contemporary structure.
Our Zaida variety, sourced from our quarries in Aragón, stands out for its exceptional translucency in snow white, with reddish earth tones and subtle cloudy textures.
Due to its ethereal beauty and unparalleled light behaviour, combined with our professional experience with the material, Zaida has become our most sought-after variety by architects and interior designers.
