Product Overview

MSI XL RockMount™ Stonevera Pearl 9" × 24" Splitface Marble Ledger Panel introduces luminous white natural stone and subtle architectural texture to interior and exterior walls. Crafted from genuine marble, each preassembled panel combines narrow stone strips into a clean stacked-stone composition.

Stonevera Pearl features crisp white and pearl tones with soft gray mineral movement. Its lightly textured splitface surface creates gentle depth and shadow while maintaining a more refined appearance than heavily cleft or rugged ledger stone.

The larger 9" × 24" XL format creates broader courses and fewer horizontal seams across fireplaces, feature walls, façades, columns, outdoor kitchens, and other vertical architectural surfaces. Matching corner panels are available for continuous installations around 90-degree outside corners.

Installation & Handling Guidelines

⚠️ IMPORTANT: LIGHT-COLORED NATURAL MARBLE

Use white setting material and protect the stone from moisture intrusion, mortar staining, metal contamination, and construction debris.

• Approved Substrate: Install over clean, flat, structurally sound concrete, masonry, or properly secured cementitious backer board.

• White Mortar Required: Use premium white polymer-modified Large and Heavy Tile mortar meeting ANSI A118.4 or A118.15 and approved for natural marble.

• Mortar Coverage: Directionally trowel the substrate and back-butter each panel. Exterior, wet-area, and fireplace installations require substantially complete coverage.

• Dry-Lay and Blend: Open several cartons and arrange the panels before installation to distribute white, pearl, and gray movement evenly.

• Tight-Joint Installation: Fit adjoining panels closely together. Conventional exposed grout joints are normally not used between ledger panels.

• Stagger the Seams: Offset vertical panel joints between courses and avoid repeating the same panel placement pattern.

• Prevent Panel Outlines: Dry-fit adjoining pieces and adjust individual strips where necessary to conceal sheet boundaries.

• Install Corners First: Establish the matching corner courses before cutting and fitting the flat panels into the returns.

• Exterior Installation: Include proper waterproofing, flashing, drainage, movement accommodation, and exterior-rated setting materials.

• Fireplace Installation: Follow all fireplace-manufacturer clearance requirements and local building codes.

• Cutting Safety: Wet-cut with a diamond blade designed for marble. Never dry-cut or grind because fabrication releases hazardous respirable silica dust.

• Order Allowance: Add approximately 10–15% for cuts, breakage, shade blending, and future repairs.

Shade Variation

Stonevera Pearl is genuine natural marble. Variations in white tone, gray mineral movement, strip thickness, texture, and surface depth are inherent characteristics rather than manufacturing defects.

Blend panels from the complete order before installation. Samples represent the general appearance but cannot display every natural variation that may be supplied.

Care & Maintenance

• Remove dust with a soft-bristle brush or vacuum attachment.

• Clean with warm water and a neutral-pH cleaner formulated for marble.

• Avoid vinegar, lemon, acidic cleaners, bleach, abrasive powders, and wire brushes.

• Wipe oils, smoke residue, food splashes, and strongly pigmented spills promptly.

• Do not allow rusty tools, metal fragments, or fertilizer to remain against the white marble.

• A penetrating natural-stone sealer may be beneficial in exterior, moisture-, grease-, or stain-prone installations.

• Test sealers first because some formulations may darken or alter the pearl-white coloration.

• Inspect exterior installations periodically for open joints, failed sealant, drainage problems, or moisture intrusion.

Design Profile

• Aesthetic: Contemporary coastal, organic modern, quiet luxury, modern farmhouse, and refined transitional.
