Italian Calacatta Gold Marble Tile

Calacatta marble (also known in its variation as Calacatta gold or oro) is a rare, exceptional marble – it is found only in one place in the world. Along with Carrara marble, Calacatta marble is quarried only in Carrara, Italy. To the untrained eye, both of these beautiful stones may look the same; after all, they’re both mainly white, with predominantly grey veins and streaks.

Unlike Carrara marble, however, Calacatta marble shows a bolder veining pattern , which can range from gold to brown/grey, and much whiter background colour compared to Carrara . This gives it a striking and memorable appearance. Calacatta marble is part of the top range of quality marble that comes from the Carrara area of Italy.
