Arabescato Corchia is a prestigious Italian marble extracted from the legendary quarries of the Apuan Alps in Tuscany, specifically from Monte Corchia. This exquisite stone is defined by its brilliant white crystalline background, which is dramatically interrupted by bold, fluid veins of dark gray, black, and occasional hints of taupe or gold. As a "brecciated" marble, it features ivory clasts that appear to float within its intricate mineral patterns, offering a more intense and rounded veining compared to other Arabescato varieties. Renowned for its sophisticated aesthetic, it is a favorite for high-end countertops and statement feature walls. Notably, the Corchia underground quarry system is one of the most extensive in Europe, adding a layer of geological wonder to this timeless material.
Arabescato Corchia is a 2 cm white marble from Italy, offered in a honed finish. Lot 47157 runs from 133″ × 70″ to 135″ × 72″, with 16 slabs available and 18 on hold at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 134″ × 71″, about 66 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 133″ × 70″ to 135″ × 72″. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is white. 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 honed finish is smooth and matte, without a high gloss. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.
In the yard
Lot 47157 at our Los Angeles yard shows 34 slabs in stock, 18 slabs on hold, and 16 slabs available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.
The slabs can be compared in daylight at our Los Angeles yard before anything is cut.
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 Kitchen and a Fireplace.
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.
