This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 136″ × 68″, about 64 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is white with semi-white and grey. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. This material is recorded as quarried in Italy.
The polished finish is reflective and lets the color read clearly. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

Where it works
For this kind of stone, the usual applications are bathrooms, vanities, fireplace surrounds, and feature walls. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in a Bathroom Vanity and a Kitchen.
The material
Marble is a metamorphic stone, recrystallized from limestone, and it is valued for veining and a luminous surface. It is softer and more sensitive to acids than granite or quartzite, so wine, citrus, and strong cleaners can etch a polish. That is why it is a classic for bathrooms, vanities, fireplaces, and walls, and for kitchens when the owner wants the look and will live with a natural patina. A honed face shows etching less than a high polish. Vein direction should be planned on the actual slabs before fabrication.
About Arabescato Arni
Arabescato Arni is a prestigious Italian marble extracted from the historic Arni quarry within the Apuan Alps of Tuscany. This high-end natural stone is distinguished by its delicate milky-white background and a sophisticated network of fluid, smoky grey veining that often forms soft, cloud-like patterns. Renowned for its fine-grained crystalline structure and exceptional polish, it offers a more subtle and harmonious aesthetic compared to the bolder Corchia or Vagli varieties. Geologically, it is a metamorphic rock composed of nearly 98% pure calcium carbonate. Interestingly, the intense whiteness of these Tuscan peaks is so profound that sailors and travelers often mistake the sun-drenched quarry faces for year-round snow caps.
