Carrara Marble
-
From the region of Carrara in Tuscany, Italy, UE.
-
Considered as one of the most prestigious and sought-after types of marble globally. Its unique characteristics, including its pure white color and fine-grained texture, have made it a preferred choice for various artistic, architectural, and decorative applications.
Carrara marble owes its existence to the geological processes that have shaped the Apuan Alps over millions of years. This region, primarily composed of sedimentary rocks, underwent intense metamorphism and deformation, resulting in the transformation of limestone into high-quality marble.
The geological history of Carrara marble involves:
2.1. Formation: The limestone precursor underwent recrystallization and metamorphism under high temperatures and pressures, leading to the formation of crystalline calcium carbonate, which characterizes Carrara marble.
2.2. Vein Formation: Carrara marble is often found in the form of distinctive white veins cutting through darker host rock. These veins are the result of hydrothermal mineralization processes, where mineral-rich fluids penetrated and altered the limestone.

We recommend wiping the surface with a clean, dry cloth weekly. If spots cannot be removed with a dry cloth, use a clean cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well. Always use coasters for drinkware and vases to avoid ring marks. Do not use any oils or furniture polishes on our Marble or Stone pieces.
