Calacatta Pink
SKU0001
Calacatta Pink is an elegant Portuguese marble distinguished by its delicate powder-pink background, dramatically traversed by graphite-to-anthracite veining that evokes classic Italian Calacatta. Quarried in the famed Vila Viçosa district (Estremoz anticline), each block yields a unique, painterly pattern. Certain lots contain deep-black zones dotted with pink-beige “islands,” making the stone especially striking when book-matched.
