Calacatta Gold and Statuario are from the quarries of the Apuan Alps in Tuscany is a very durable marble characterised by a white background grey veining or small dark grey spots or holes. Its chemical composition is 99% calcium carbonate, which makes it very solid, but it can still be affected by acids. The surface may show areas with concentrations of intense white quartz crystals of about 1-6cm in size, called ‘ghiacciolo’ (ice).

Another feature that can appear in Calacatta Gold and Statuario are ‘taroli’, which are small craters on the surface of the marble and are the natural result of the crystallisation of calcium carbonate. It can be up to several millimetres in diameter.

As it is a natural material, these ‘imperfections’ must be considered as proof of the authenticity of the material and of the intrinsic and essential characteristics of the marble.

This is considered normal:

• Crystal formation: acceptable in any shape or size and does not cause cracks.
• Taroli/small holes: acceptable if they are less than 5mm in size and if the concentration in the piece is not excessive.
