Calacatta Gold are from the quarries of the Apuan Alps in Tuscany is a very durable marble characterised by a white background  grey veining or small dark grey spots or holes. Its chemical composition is 99% calcium carbonate, which makes it very solid, but it can still be affected by acids. The surface may show areas with concentrations of intense white quartz crystals of about 1-6cm in size, called ‘ghiacciolo’ (ice).

Another feature that can appear in Calacatta Gold are ‘taroli’, which are small craters on the surface of the marble and are the natural result of the crystallisation of calcium carbonate. It can be up to several millimetres in diameter.

As it is a natural material, these ‘imperfections’ must be considered as proof of the authenticity of the material and of the intrinsic and essential characteristics of the marble.

This is considered normal:

• Crystal formation: acceptable in any shape or size and does not cause cracks.
• Taroli/small holes: acceptable if they are less than 5mm in size and if the concentration in the piece is not excessive.

Calacatta Gold is a classic white marble quarried in the famed Tuscany region of Tuscany, Italy, an area renowned for producing some of the world’s most iconic natural stones since Roman times. Known for its timeless elegance and subtle beauty, Carrara C is one of the most widely recognised and specified marbles in architecture and design globally.

This marble is characterised by a light to medium grey veining that gently flows across a clean white to pale Gold background, offering a soft and harmonious appearance. Its relatively uniform tone and finer veining, making it a popular choice for spaces seeking a refined and consistent look.

Composed primarily of calcium carbonate, Calacatta Gold has a tight crystalline structure, giving it moderate durability suitable for a wide range of interior applications such as vanities, benchtops, wall cladding, flooring, and feature walls. As with all marbles, it is sensitive to acidic substances and should be sealed and maintained regularly to protect its surface and enhance its longevity.

With a sense of calm, warmth, and refinement, Calacatta Gold is a versatile and enduring choice for residential and commercial interiors alike. Its classic beauty and rich Italian heritage make it a staple in luxury design around the world.
