On hand at our Los Angeles yard: one slab of Calacatta Chiara, a 2 cm beige dolomite from Brazil in a honed finish. Lot 200085 measures about 128″ × 79″.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 128″ × 79″, about 70 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is beige. 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 Brazil.

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 200085 at our Los Angeles yard shows one slab in stock, none on hold, and one slab available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.

With one slab available, it suits a project that can be cut from a single piece.

Where it works

For this kind of stone, the usual applications are bathrooms, vanities, and light-use counters. 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 Powder.

The material

Dolomite is a carbonate stone. In the showroom it is often grouped with marble, and many bright white names are dolomite rather than calcite marble. It is generally a little harder than calcite marble, but it can still etch, so care is closer to marble than to granite. Judge movement and brightness from the slab, not from the name alone.

About Calacatta Chiara

Calacatta Chiara is a sophisticated dolomite marble quarried in Brazil, highly regarded for its refined and timeless aesthetic. It features a luminous creamy-white to beige background, elegantly interlaced with delicate grey and subtle gold veining. This natural stone offers a perfect bridge between the classic look of Italian marble and the enhanced durability characteristic of dolomitic structures. Often used for high-end countertops and vertical applications, it brings a warm, soft elegance to both residential and commercial interiors. Interestingly, while it shares the prestigious Calacatta name, its Brazilian origin and mineral composition often make it more resistant to acid etching than traditional calcite marbles.
