Origin and Geology

Calacatta Arabescato is quarried in the Apuan Alps of Tuscany, Italy, in the same mountain range that yields Calacatta Gold, Statuary, and Bianco Carrara. Geologically, it is a metamorphic marble formed from highly pure limestone under intense heat and pressure. Its name reflects the confluence of two defining characteristics: the bright white Calacatta ground and the arabesque-style intricate, swirling vein network typical of the Arabescato family of marbles.
