Rojo Alicante is a premier Spanish marble quarried primarily from the Alicante region, specifically near La Alguena. This celebrated natural stone is defined by its deep, saturated terracotta to brick-red background, dramatically interrupted by a delicate network of white and occasional gray calcite veins. While it is commercially classified as a marble, it is geologically a fine-grained limestone formed during the Cretaceous period. Renowned for its warm, earthy elegance, it has gained international prestige alongside other Spanish classics like Crema Marfil. Interestingly, its name "Rojo" simply translates to "Red," reflecting its bold, unmistakable presence in Mediterranean architecture for centuries.
On hold at our Los Angeles yard: Rojo Alicante, a 2 cm white and orange marble from Spain in a polished finish. Lot 138293 measures about 116″ × 63″.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 116″ × 63″, about 51 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is white and orange. 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

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 Classical 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.
