Origin and Geology

Discover a masterpiece that evokes a sense of place and rarity. Arabescato Corchia is sourced from the quarries of Monte Corchia in the Apuan Alps of Tuscany, Italy, the same prestigious region known for other world-famous marbles. 

Arabescato Corchia is often classified as breccia, which means it forms from fragments of other rocks cemented together by nature over millennia. The stone’s name derives from the intricate, swirling, arabesque motifs that develop naturally as a result— a distinction from marbles with more linear veining.
