Smooth like a gemstone, Jade ceramic tiles possess the striking veins and coloration of Oriental slate. The 13- and 20-inch squares come in four natural colors—sage, ochre, chestnut, and taupe. They are easily cleaned and are just as appropriate on walls as they are underfoot. 359 Clay Road, Sunnyvale, TX 75182; 972-226-0110; marazzitile.com.
