The connection between stone and water is an elementary dance, a timeless symbiosis that shapes landscapes and preserves life. Water, the essence of life, finds its home among the stones, nurtures ecosystems and promotes biodiversity. Stones provide stability, and a solid base on which life can flourish along river banks and along coasts.
This dynamic relationship between stone and water reflects the fragile balance that is needed for life to thrive. Water, a symbol of vitality and renewal, relies on the presence of stones to give it structure and direction. Stones, on the other hand, rely on water to erode, decompose, and form fertile soils that support plant growth and preserve ecosystems.

230 million years ago, on a reef at the edge of the shallow Tethys Sea, many different organisms lived and flourished in the warm, vibrant, undulating sea. They created massive coralline limestones with hard skeletal work.
This is the story of the Hotavlje stone, which appears in different shades of grey, red or green. It is unique, created by nature in their workshop without plans or patterns. The final beauty of the Hotavlje stone is revealed in the hands of the masters at Marmor Hotavlje.
