Bianconero is a sophisticated white marble primarily quarried in the rich geological regions of Turkey. This natural stone is defined by its luminous white background, which is dramatically interrupted by bold, high-contrast black and deep charcoal veining. Its name, literally translating to white-black in Italian, perfectly captures this striking monochromatic aesthetic. While often used for statement flooring and wall cladding, its dense crystalline structure allows for a high-polish finish that enhances its depth. Interestingly, many Turkish white marbles like Bianconero are geologically related to the same ancient Tethys Sea deposits that formed the world's most famous Mediterranean stones.
On hand at our Los Angeles yard: 14 slabs of Bianconero, a 2 cm white marble from Turkey in a polished finish. Lot MW-1 runs from 115″ × 66″ to 120″ × 66″.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 119″ × 66″, about 55 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 115″ × 66″ to 120″ × 66″. 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 Turkey.
The polished finish is reflective and lets the color read clearly. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.
In the yard
Lot MW-1 at our Los Angeles yard shows 14 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 14 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 Powder.
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.
