Ombra di Caravaggio is a sophisticated marble primarily quarried in the Zlatibor District of Serbia, though it is often associated with Italian design. This natural stone is defined by its dramatic, deep brown to charcoal background, which is artistically fractured by intense, sweeping veins of copper-orange, red, and smoky gray. Its name pays homage to the famous Baroque artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, reflecting the "chiaroscuro" or high-contrast play of light and shadow found in his masterpieces. With a high density and unique brecciated structure, it offers both durability and a bold, painterly aesthetic for luxury interiors and custom furnishings.
Ombra Di Caravaggio is a 2 cm white, red, and grey marble, offered in a polished finish. Lot B 7742 measures about 137″ × 64″, with 5 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 137″ × 64″, about 61 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is white, red, and grey. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade.
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 B 7742 at our Los Angeles yard shows 5 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 5 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 Wet Bar.
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.
