On hold at our Los Angeles yard: Calacatta Michelangelo, a 2 cm white marble from Italy in a polished finish. Lot MB18405-A measures about 114″ × 70″.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 114″ × 70″, about 55 square feet. 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 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.

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 Michelangelo

Calacatta Michelangelo is a prestigious white marble quarried from the Apuan Alps in Carrara, Italy. This exquisite stone is defined by its luminous, milky white background and a sophisticated network of delicate, light gray to dove gray veins, occasionally featuring subtle golden undertones. As a high-density metamorphic rock, it offers a refined, contemporary aesthetic that has been prized for centuries in luxury architecture and fine art.

An interesting piece of history: this marble is extracted from the same legendary quarries where Michelangelo personally selected blocks for his masterpieces. Its low porosity and natural cooling properties make it an exceptional choice for elegant flooring and statement countertops.
