Crema Marfil is a world-renowned Spanish marble, primarily extracted from the massive Monte Coto quarry in Alicante. This iconic stone is celebrated for its uniform, creamy beige background accented by subtle, thin veins of white and gold, and occasional fossil remains like nummulites. Technically classified as a bioclastic limestone, its high density and low water absorption make it exceptionally durable for a marble, suitable for high-traffic flooring and grand architectural projects. Interestingly, while it is a staple of modern luxury, the deposits forming these mountains began over 60 million years ago. It remains the global benchmark for neutral, sophisticated natural stone.
Crema Marfil is a 2 cm beige with ivory marble from Spain, offered in a polished finish. Lot 12125-2 measures about 120″ × 72″, with 13 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 120″ × 72″, about 60 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is beige with ivory. 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 Spain.
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 12125-2 at our Los Angeles yard shows 13 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 13 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 Kitchen and 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.
