While one would think of the major and minor marble, the truth is that they were all born the same! The limestone underwent a mutation into a crystalline marble. However, some varieties of marble have a greater appeal and Calacatta is one of them. The stunning high-end natural stone has a distinguished appearance and is rare enough to be considered precious. Calacatta suits several diverse purposes.
The typical looks of Calacatta
While Carrara has a lot of soft veins, Calacatta has some daring veins, very dramatic indeed. The soothing white background and veining attract homeowners, designers and architects around the world. Higher whiteness indicates higher prices and charm. The veins are also suitable for installations combined with books, compared to other marble patterns.
We offer 6 varieties of Calacatta. Each one is exquisite and is called Calacatta Classic and Calacatta Gold, Calacatta Gold Premium and Calacatta Lasa, Calacatta Splendor and Calacatta Vagli. On the white background, the veins can be golden or gray in various shades. Neutral colors can be easily mixed with varieties of wood and other decorative elements. Plan for color options like dramatic contrasts or moderate effects.
Being weird is always desirable
Anything high-end is not commonly found. Higher demand results in higher prices. Calacatta marble comes to our homes and offices from a single worldwide location in Carrara in Italy, far, far away! It may confuse some people that Carrara marble also comes from the same quarry. Calacatta marble production is scarce and regulated. The seasons also make a difference, as working in the harsh winter at the top of Carrara Mountain can be challenging. Thus, the higher prices and rarity, workmanship and reputation of Calacatta marble.
