Description
This premium volcanic natural stone tile in 20x40cm size is crafted from the natural skin of Mount Merapi stone. Each tile features two distinct sides: one side showcases the rough natural face of temple stone skin that preserves the authentic texture shaped by nature, while the other side is a neat saw-cut surface for easier installation. With a thickness ranging from 1 to 5cm, this product offers an exclusive natural character for interior and exterior wall cladding.
