Calacatta 3×6″ Subway Tile $11.95SF

Calacatta Gold is one of the most requested products and we thought an update was long past due.  The ETA as the title states is the end of May – “oh no” I know that is not great news especially if you are reading this in April.  Finding a Calacatta quarry in Itlay is not that difficult but finding an excellent quarry is, we have turned down quite a few suppliers but settled on one which offered the greatest consistancy and continual avaliability.

As an online retailer of natural stone we constantly stay on top of the market changes and conditions.  One of the things we like to do is order samples of our competitors Carrara 3×6” Subway Tile and Hexagon.  We are shocked at the number of competitors that call Turkish marble ‘Carrara’.  The marble is a white marble from Turkey that has some gray veining in it, but 98% of competitors call it ‘Carrara’ in the hope of the consumer buying the inferior stone.

How can you tell the difference?  The easiest way to tell is that Turkish white marble (we won’t call it Carrara) ...
