Empress Green Marble

Rich green natural marble with dramatic veining for elegant floors, walls, bathrooms, showers, backsplashes, and statement interiors.

About Empress Green Marble Honed Tile

Material Education

Empress Green is a richly pigmented natural marble prized for its deep forest and emerald green tones, quarried from select mountain regions of Asia. The stone features dramatic white and gray veining that cuts across its verdant background, lending each slab a bold, painterly character. A fine crystalline structure gives the honed surface a velvety, matte sheen that highlights the depth of its color without the distracting glare of a polish.

As a product of nature, Empress Green marble will display variation in vein intensity, pattern, and color saturation from tile to tile — these differences are a hallmark of genuine stone and contribute to the organic richness of a finished installation.

About this tile: This 12×12 honed field tile offers a generous, grid-friendly format ideal for floors, feature walls, and large backsplash expanses. Each tile is cut to a square format and finished with a smooth honed surface that is refined yet tactile, making it comfortable underfoot and visually grounded in any setting.

Design & Inspiration

The deep jewel-toned greens of Empress Green pair beautifully with warm brass and unlacquered bronze fixtures, natural white oak cabinetry, and crisp white grout for maximum contrast. Its bold palette suits moody maximalist interiors, biophilic design schemes, Art Deco-inspired bathrooms, and sophisticated contemporary kitchens.

The 12×12 square format laid in a straight set or offset brick pattern creates a clean, structured field that lets the stone's color and veining command attention without visual fragmentation. On a bathroom floor or a dramatic accent wall, this tile reads as a statement surface — bold enough to stand alone, structured enough to anchor an entire room.

Popular design combinations: Empress Green 12×12 floor tiles paired with unlacquered brass fixtures, warm white plaster walls, and a Thassos White marble border trim for a lush, jewel-box bathroom effect.

Empress Green marble is a striking natural stone defined by its deep emerald and forest green tones, punctuated by bold white and gray veining. Quarried from the mountain regions of Asia, this marble carries the geological drama and color saturation that has made green marble a luxury staple in high-end residential and hospitality design for centuries.

Each 12×12 tile is finished with a smooth honed surface that subdues the stone's reflectivity while enhancing the richness of its green pigmentation — the result is a surface that feels luxurious and grounded rather than flashy. The square format installs quickly in straight-set or offset patterns using standard large-format tile techniques, making it a practical choice for ambitious design projects.

Empress Green is ideally suited for bathroom floors, shower walls, powder room feature walls, kitchen backsplashes, and fireplace surrounds where a bold color statement is desired. Because color and veining can vary between production lots, ordering a sample before committing to a full order is strongly recommended, and purchasing 10–15% overage is advised to account for cuts and future repairs.

Free Shipping: This product ships at standard freight rates calculated at checkout based on your location and order size.

Processing & Delivery: Orders are processed within 2–3 business days. Large orders ship via LTL freight — curbside delivery only. An adult must be present to sign for delivery. Estimated transit: 2–10 business days after shipment.

30-Day Returns: Uninstalled tile may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Inspect all tile carefully before installation — installed tile cannot be returned or exchanged. Samples are final sale.

Exclusions: Free shipping does not apply to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses. Additional charges may apply for remote delivery areas.

Sealing: Empress Green marble must be sealed with a high-quality penetrating stone sealer before installation and again immediately after grouting. In wet areas such as showers, reseal every 12 months. The honed finish is more porous than polished marble and will absorb liquids more readily, so timely sealing is critical to prevent staining.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft microfiber mop or cloth. Never use vinegar, lemon juice, bleach, or any acidic or alkaline cleaners, as these will etch the honed surface and dull the finish permanently. Wipe up spills — especially oils, wine, and citrus — immediately to prevent deep staining into the stone.

Installation: Use a white polymer-modified thinset mortar to prevent any gray thinset from bleeding through the stone and altering its color. Back-butter each tile in addition to applying thinset to the substrate to ensure full coverage and eliminate hollow spots. Use tile spacers for consistent grout joints and allow the thinset to cure fully before grouting. Choose a sanded or unsanded grout based on your chosen joint width.

Important: Inspect all tile before installation. Variations in color, veining, and texture between pieces are natural characteristics of genuine stone — not defects. Order 10% overage for cuts, waste, and future repairs. Tile & Mosaic Depot specialists are available M–F 8:30AM–5PM PST at 855-797-8453.

Why Order a Sample
A screen can't show you how Calacatta veining reads under your kitchen lights or how a porcelain finish sits next to your cabinet color. A sample can. It's the single best way to buy stone or porcelain tile with confidence — and the cheapest mistake you'll ever avoid.

How It Works
Samples are $7.99 each. Samples ship free and leave our warehouse within 1–3 business days. Sizes vary by material and availability — typically 3"×3" up to 8"×8" — and every sample is cut from the same material stocked for full orders.

What a Sample Shows
Color, texture, finish, and overall character. Because natural stone varies piece to piece, one sample represents the material but can't show the full range of a lot. Porcelain samples are highly representative of the production run. Want to see the current lot before you commit? Ask us — we'll send photos.

Good to Know

Samples are final sale — non-returnable and non-refundable.
We recommend sampling before every full order, especially for natural stone.

How Your Order Ships
In-stock orders leave our warehouse within 2–3 business days. Stone, porcelain, and mosaic ship on a pallet via scheduled LTL freight and arrive 2–10 business days after dispatch, depending on destination. You'll get tracking and the carrier's name by email the day it ships.

Freight Delivery — What to Expect

The carrier calls you first. Every freight delivery is by appointment. Expect a call or text to set a window before the truck is dispatched.
Curbside delivery. The driver unloads to the curb or driveway. Freight does not include carrying material indoors or into a garage — plan for a helper or a hand truck.
Someone 18+ must sign. Inspect the pallet before signing. Note any damage, shortage, or broken shrink-wrap on the delivery receipt — this is what makes a claim valid.
Truck access. The address must be accessible to a full-size freight truck with enough space to unload.

Free Shipping
Free curbside freight on qualifying mosaic and molding orders over $1,999 in the continental U.S. Field tile, porcelain, and other product types ship at freight rates shown at checkout. Not available to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses.

Damage & Shortages
Report within 3 calendar days of delivery with photos of the pallet, packaging, and affected pieces to sales@tileandmosaicdepot.com. Verified claims are covered. Shortages of 1–5 pieces are refunded rather than reshipped — which is why we recommend ordering 10% overage.

30-Day Returns
Uninstalled tile in full, unopened boxes may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Return freight is paid by the customer. Partial boxes, opened boxes, installed material, and samples are final sale.

Questions Before You Order?
Call (855) 797-8453 or email sales@tileandmosaicdepot.com, Monday–Friday 8:30 AM–5 PM PT. If you're unsure about freight access at your address, ask us before checkout — we'll flag anything that could hold up delivery.

Natural Variation
Quarried stone varies in color, veining, shade, movement, and finish from piece to piece and from lot to lot. Screen photos and samples show the range, not the exact tile you'll receive. Variation is the nature of the material and is never grounds for return. Porcelain is far more consistent, but shade and pattern can still shift between production runs — buy your full quantity in one order.

Before You Install

Order 10% overage. Covers cuts, breakage, and spares for future repairs. Reorders may not match in tone or lot.
Inspect every piece before setting. Pull from all boxes, blend, and dry-lay the full area. Installation is acceptance — no claims are honored once tile is set.
Hire a qualified installer. Natural stone and large-format porcelain require experience with the material. Your installer is responsible for substrate, setting materials, and method.

Sealing & Care
Natural stone should be sealed with a penetrating sealer and re-sealed periodically in wet and high-traffic areas. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner only — vinegar, bleach, ammonia, and acidic cleaners etch marble, limestone, travertine, and onyx permanently. Porcelain does not require sealing. Outdoor stone weathers and shifts in tone over time; this is expected.

Responsibility
Tile & Mosaic Depot supplies material only. We are not responsible for installation, labor costs, substrate conditions, setting materials, product misuse, or damage from handling, sealing, maintenance, or chemicals. No claims, returns, or replacements are accepted on installed material.

California Proposition 65
Some natural stone and porcelain products contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Details at www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
