Olivetti CALACATTA GOLD Honed Artisan Cut Mosaic – VM1222

Our OLIVETTI Stone Mosaic Collection is inspired by ancient mosaic floors stretching back to Roman mosaics as seen at the Coliseum. The beautiful, detailed natural Artisan finish captures this timeless quality of hand cut stone with clear horizontal line reflecting stone strata. Olivetti Sheets are interlocking.

Calacatta Gold is 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 is ‘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.

As a porous material, Calacatta Gold should be sealed and properly maintained to protect against staining, especially in wet or high-use areas.

This visually expressive stone is often chosen for high-impact design applications where natural beauty and statement aesthetics are desired. Due to its rare colour composition and soft patterning, Calacatta Gold is especially popular in boutique residential projects, luxury retail spaces, and artistic installations.
