It is 'the original' recyled product. Venetian workers discovered a new use for waste marble from tens of thousands of marble statues & construction projects undertaken in that period. Initially clay was used as a binder and the surface was rubbed with stone. Goat milk was the original colour enhancer and sealer. Terrazzo is a mixture consisting of crushed mother of pearl, mirror , marble , quartz , granite , glass , with cement as a binder and other proprietary chemicals & pigments.
