A "ceppo slab" is a type of stone commonly used in construction and architectural projects. The term "ceppo" comes from Italian, referring to a particular type of sedimentary rock found in Italy, characterized by its distinctive pattern of embedded pebbles or cobbles within a matrix of finer-grained material. Ceppo slabs are prized for their unique appearance, which features a natural, rustic aesthetic due to the varied colors and shapes of the embedded stones.
They are often used for countertops, shower walls (including steam), fireplace surrounds, vanity tops, flooring, and decorative elements in both indoor and outdoor settings.
