Marble is formed by limestone through a metamorphic process, meaning it changes form: this process leads to a complete recrystalization of the calcium carbonate that largely makes up the rock, thanks to the combined action of heat and pressure.

These transformation processes occur deep underground and are brought to the surface by the movement of the earth’s crust.

The colour of marble depends on the presence of mineral impurities (clay, silt, sand, iron oxides, flnt nodules), embedded as grains or layers within the original rock. Apuan marbles, for example, are among the purest in the world because they consist almost exclusively of calcite which determines their characteristic white colouring.

In the mountains, in the west of Tuscany, in the Apuan Alps, in the “Marble Cathedrals”, Carrara White is preserved.

Pure and Luminous, universally recognized as one of the most precious of marbles, CARRARA  WHITE has become the symbol of “Made in Italy”

Crema Luna is a particular marble with an even, light –beige colour characterized by the presence of traces of fossils which give this material a “flowered” aspect. Its perfect application coincides with the fiishings which exalt its characteristics: dressing, or sandblasting. A malleable material which does not suffer the effects of frost and which lends itself to multiple applications in furnishing
