Cherokee White is a prestigious and historically significant marble quarried in Tate, Georgia, USA. Also known as Georgia White Marble, it is celebrated for its luminous, crystallized white base accented by a delicate tapestry of soft grey veining. Its remarkably homogenous composition and fine grain make it a premier choice for intricate carving and large-scale architectural projects. This stone carries a deep American legacy, famously used in the construction of the Lincoln Memorial and the National Gallery of Art. Beyond its architectural grandeur, its exceptional density and low absorption rate provide superior durability for modern kitchen countertops and outdoor landscaping.
This leather marble is Cherokee White, cut at 2 cm. Lot 25012 measures about 119″ × 64″, with 3 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 119″ × 64″, about 53 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.
The leather finish is lightly textured, with a softer look than a full polish. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.
In the yard
Lot 25012 at our Los Angeles yard shows 3 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 3 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 an Accent Wall.
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.
