Collofino

Collofino (also occasionally seen as Collofino Clay) is a type of superfine, highly refined Italian marble dust. It is primarily used as an aggregate in Venetian plaster, also known as stucco Veneziano, and other polished plaster finishes. The extremely fine particle size of Collofino allows for an exceptionally smooth, dense, and lustrous surface when the plaster is burnished. The term "Collofino" generally denotes the finest grade of marble dust available for this purpose, indicating a specific level of refinement beyond standard marble dust. Its superior quality contributes to the creation of a durable and aesthetically pleasing polished plaster finish, prized for its depth and reflective qualities. The source marble for Collofino is typically a white marble variety from quarries in Italy.
