Swedish green marble

Type of marble from Sweden

Swedish green marble, or simply Swedish green, is a marble from quarries in Kolmården, in the north-eastern part of the province of Östergötland in Sweden. It is fine-grained, with a variable green colour and attractive veining, due to serpentines in the stone. It is considered one of the hardest marbles in the world.{{cite web |access-date = December 21, 2011 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20111225062646/http://www.marmorbruket.se/default.asp?Language=en |archive-date = December 25, 2011
