Marble is a natural stone, formed under the Earth. Therefore, the stone can be classified as a Metamorphic rock. This means that over time, layers upon layers of limestone & calcium carbonate were subjected to heat and pressure. This creates the beautiful stone pieces that we use to make your dream project. The black and white swirls and colors throughout the stone are made from mineral deposits like clay, silt, sand, iron oxides or chert. The stone is then quarried from the Earth in big chunks or “slabs”. Your countertops are custom cut from these slabs to your exact measurements.
The different names of Marble come from the location where they were quarried. Because some marbles are rarer than others, this means some types of marble are more expensive than others. Different types of the stone include Afyon White, Burdur Beige, Mugla White, Rosa Levanta, Marmara Equator, Emperador and Tundra Grey marbles Most of these marbles come from Turkey, Italy, and Spain.
