CARRARA MARBLE COUNTERTOP

Origin Of Carrara Marble

Like other kinds of marble, Carrara marble is a metamorphic rock made up of microscopic calcium carbonate crystals. This rock formed due to metamorphism, which means that the former stone has an entirely new crystalline structure due to high pressure and temperature variations, resulting in a fundamentally changed rock. In the case of Carrara Marble, the original stone was similar to the current lime soil of extensive coral reefs in tropical oceans. The transformation occurred during the Early Jurassic period (190 million years ago), when large parts of today's North Tuscany were flooded, resulting in the deposition of lime sediment on the sea floor and forming a carboniferous platform.

Finishes Of Carrara Marble Worktop:

Polished

Polished Carrara marble is the most common and classic finish. Its glossy, mirror-like surface enhances the stone's natural beauty, making it appear more vibrant and colourful. The polished finish reflects light, creating an elegant and luxurious ambience. This finish is commonly used for countertops, wall cladding, and decorative elements.

Honed

Honed Carrara marble has a smooth, matte surface that lacks the shine of polished marble. The honing process removes the high-gloss finish, revealing a softer, more velvety texture. This finish highlights the stone's natural colours and subtle veining, offering a more understated and relaxed look. Honed Carrara marble is commonly used for flooring, bathroom surfaces, and areas where a less reflective appearance is desired.

Veiny Marble

The veins in Carrara marble are one of its most recognizable characteristics. These veins are natural mineral deposits that form when the marble is created during the geological process. The veins can range from light grey to darker shades of grey and even gold or brown. They typically have a meandering or irregular pattern, giving each slab its unique and artistic appearance. The veins can be delicate and subtle or bold and dramatic, depending on the specific variety of Carrara marble.

Light Veins

Light veins are a variation of the more prominent and contrasting veins commonly seen in Carrara marble. As the name suggests, these veins are lighter in colour compared to the marble's background, creating a more subdued and delicate look. Light veins are often preferred for a softer, more elegant aesthetic, especially in applications where a calmer and less busy appearance is desired.

Grains

Carrara marble refers to the overall texture and appearance of the stone's surface. Carrara marbles that have a fine-grained texture, are a result of relatively small and densely packed mineral particles. This fine-grained texture contributes to the marble's smooth and elegant appearance, making it a popular choice for various interior design applications.
