Apuano Magna Marble
MARBLE
Apuano Magna Marble is a type of high-quality marble that is quarried in the Apuan Alps region of Tuscany, Italy. It is known for its distinctive white, gray, and beige veining patterns, which give it a classic and elegant appearance.
The marble is formed through the metamorphism of limestone and is composed mainly of calcium carbonate. Its unique veining patterns are the result of mineral impurities that were present during its formation, such as clay, sand, and iron oxide.
Apuano Magna marble has been highly valued and used in sculpture and architecture since ancient times. It was used extensively by the ancient Romans and can be seen in many famous buildings and monuments, such as the Pantheon in Rome. Today, it is still highly sought after for use in high-end residential and commercial projects, such as flooring, cladding, countertops, and decorative accents.
