Our Marbles

Marble is a metamorphic rock derived from limestone, composed primarily of calcite (calcium carbonate) crystals. It forms under high pressure and temperatures, giving it a uniform crystalline texture and unique luster. Its varied color palette, ranging from pure white to hues of black, red, green, and blue, comes from mineral impurities present during its formation. These characteristics have made marble a material that has been prized since ancient times for its beauty and durability.

Marble is used in many areas, including architecture, sculpture, and interior design. In construction, it is used to create elegant floors, walls, and staircases. In art, it is prized for sculpture, with iconic works such as Michelangelo’s David illustrating the precision it allows. In interior design, it is often used for countertops, fireplaces, or tiles, adding a touch of luxury. Its ability to be polished or matted as needed contributes to its aesthetic versatility.

There are different types of marble, classified according to their origin, color and veining. For example, Carrara marble, a bright white with slight gray veins, is famous for sculptures and architecture. Verona green marble is distinguished by its emerald hues, while Alicante red marble is famous for its intense hues. These variations allow architects and designers to play with textures and styles, making marble a timeless and adaptable material.
