The perfect harmony between metal & stone Rubinetteria GIULINI presents Stone Collection, a selection of semiprecious gemstones, to furnish with refinement and elegance the most luxurious bathrooms in the world. Composed of 5 collections: Persia, Praga, Harmony, Odessa and Giò and of 5 types of gems: Lapis, Malachite, Rhodocrosite, Rock crystal and Tiger Eye. The stones are different both in type of material and in colour: Lapis, originating from Afghanistan, are distinguished for their typical light blue colour, which their name derives from. Their similarity with the ancients’ Sapphire stone represents their distinctive trait. Malachite, historically originating from Russia, Africa and America, is regarded as one of the most renowned minerals and one of the most cited in legends. It takes its name from the Greek Malàchee, which means mallow, due to its unique green colour which can vary from a subtle to a more intense shade and come to a blackish nuance. This stone represents one of the most well-known minerals serving as decorative material. Check Mate When it comes to sleek, contemporary Italian kitchens, the choice is really endless. Rhodocrosite, originating from Argentina, is a fluorescent mineral belonging to the group of calcites, whose name derives from the Greek in allusion to its rosy tone. The Rock crystal, generally known as clear quartz, is a completely transparent type of quartz, typical of central Africa and Brazil. Its aspect resembles the one of glass and crystal. The Tiger Eye, originating from South Africa, a golden-brown quartz with typical yellow reflections which make this crystal resemble the eye of the tiger. It is primarily used as a gem for creating jewellery. 5 stones and 5 finishing colours create the perfect harmony for an exclusive bathroom.
