This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 132″ × 80″, about 73 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 129″ × 80″ to 133″ × 80″. 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.

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 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 Calacatta Gold Borghini

Calacatta Gold Borghini is an Italian marble pulled from the Ruggetta quarry in the Apuan Alps of Carrara. It has a bright white base crossed by thick grey veins with gold and honey-colored tones running through them. The stone has been tied to wealth and status since Roman times. Michelangelo himself specified it in a 1517 contract, noting its purity. Its crystalline makeup takes a high-gloss polish well, which is why designers still favor it for book-matched feature walls, countertops, and flooring in high-end residential and commercial projects around the world.
