This marble is sourced from the Carrara region in Italy, renowned for its high-quality marble production. The Carrara quarries have been extracting marble for centuries, and Calacatta Viola is one of the more exclusive varieties, prized for its distinct coloration and elegance. The defining feature of Calacatta Viola is its striking white base, which serves as a canvas for bold, flowing veins of deep violet and purple. These veins can vary in intensity and thickness, creating a dynamic pattern that adds depth and movement to the stone. The interplay between the bright white and the rich purple offers a sophisticated contrast, making it a standout material in any setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our stones, care instructions, and the purchase process.
Other than resealing, we recommend using ordinary surface protectors such as coasters and placemats where possible. When cooking, always use a cutting board, especially when dealing with acidic foods such as lemons that may discolour the stone. If there are spills on the stone, make sure to clean them in a timely manner.
Etching is the erosion damage that occurs when the natural stone comes into contact with acidic substances including citrus, wine, tomatoes, alcohol and some types of juice. Staining refers to the discolouration of stone when a pigmented substance is absorbed and trapped beneath the surface.
The three most popular finish options in our warehouse are; polished, honed (matte), and leathered. We receive the slabs pre-finished from the quarries, and it is up to the client if they would like their fabricator to refinish their purchased slab.
“Bookmatched” slabs describe the mirroring effect that occurs when two adjoined pieces of stone have reversed patterns. The term refers to its likeness to an opened book.
