PORTLAND, Ore.  (April 16, 2010) – At the 2010 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Chicago, ANN SACKS, a premier manufacturer and distributor of tile, stone and plumbing products presented Ravello, a rich purple stone with softly contrasting accents of soft pink and white. This regal, sophisticated stone will give character, depth and an authentic luster to any installation.

A natural stone quarried in India and available in 18x18x¾ field size and 30x72x¾ slab formats, Ravello is offered in a uniform honed finish that emphasizes the rich linear veining and cloudlike patterns.The material is offered in two directional cuts: the Fiorito, which is also known as the “flower” or “cross” cut, and shows the more florid pattern of the stone; and the Venato, translated as the “veined” cut, which displays the bold, directional veining of the stone. Ravello would be striking in any floor or wall application.
