Where it works
Golden Portoro, room by room
- Floors
- Polished for a formal living room or a lobby; honed where there is grit underfoot or a doorway open to the monsoon.
- Walls and cladding
- Run as large calm panels behind a bed, a reception desk or along a corridor.
- Bathrooms
- Vanity tops, shower walls and floors, sealed and wiped dry where water stands.
- Staircases
- Treads and risers cut to size, with the vein running the same way on every step.
- Kitchens
- Counters and splashbacks for a cook who wipes lemon and wine as they go; a honed finish hides the etching a dropped lime leaves on a high polish.
- Showpieces
- The pooja room, a dining table top, a fireplace surround.

Care
Golden Portoro is a calcium stone: seal it after installation and again every year or two, clean it with a pH-neutral stone soap, and wipe up lemon, vinegar and wine rather than leaving them to etch the polish. A honed finish shows etching least. How to care for natural stone →

Questions about Golden Portoro
What is Golden Portoro?
Golden Portoro is marble, with a gold tone. It is a crystalline limestone, which is why it takes a mirror polish and why acids etch it. Flora Marble imports it as blocks and slabs and cuts and finishes it at its own factory at Athal, Silvassa.
Can Golden Portoro be used on a kitchen counter?
Yes, with the care marble asks for: wipe lemon, vinegar and wine as you go and keep it sealed; a honed finish hides the etching a dropped lime leaves on a high polish. Many of our clients put Golden Portoro on the island and a harder stone on the working run.
What finishes and sizes does Golden Portoro come in?
Golden Portoro is supplied polished as standard, honed or leathered on request, as full slabs, cut-to-size, book-matched pairs, typically 18–20 mm; other thicknesses on request. Slab sizes vary lot to lot, so we send the measurements and photographs of the actual slabs before anything is confirmed.
Where can I see Golden Portoro slabs?
Stocked slabs stand to be seen at the Flora Marble gallery in Vile Parle East, Mumbai, a few minutes from the airport (open mon–sat, 10 am – 7 pm); a catalogue stone is sourced to order and shown to you before you commit. Every slab is cut and polished at our own factory at Athal, Silvassa, where buyers are welcome.
Does Flora Marble deliver Golden Portoro to Lucknow?
Yes. Golden Portoro leaves the Silvassa factory by road for every state in India, Lucknow, Kochi and Delhi included, crated and strapped for the journey. Each city has its own page with the road distance from the factory and the Mumbai gallery and how an order from there usually runs.
How is Golden Portoro priced?
Per project, slab by slab: the slabs selected, their sizes, the finish and the cutting all move the figure, so there is no list price online. Send the drawings or the areas and the finish you have in mind and Flora Marble will quote the Golden Portoro it would select for you, with photographs of those slabs.
