Description
Calacatta Armani Marble features a creamy white to pale milky background, enhanced by striking diagonal linear bands in shades of grey, olive green, and dark charcoal. The contrasting colours create a sophisticated appearance with a distinctive natural movement, making each slab visually unique.
Texture & Structure
This marble has a compact crystalline structure with a generally smooth, fine- to medium-grained texture. Its natural mineral composition creates subtle variations in colour and grain size. The surface can be polished to achieve a refined finish that enhances the contrast and depth of its veining.
Pattern
The stone is characterized by bold, diagonal linear banding that sweeps across the creamy-white background. Grey, olive-green, and charcoal mineral veins form layered, flowing patterns, creating a dramatic appearance. Veining direction, intensity, and colour distribution vary naturally between blocks and slabs.
Hardness
Estimated Mohs Hardness: 3–4, typical of calcite-rich marble. Actual hardness may vary depending on mineral composition and should be confirmed through testing.
Mineralogical Composition (% by Weight)
The exact mineralogical composition has not been independently established. As a calcite-rich marble, it may contain:
-
Calcite (CaCO₃) – Main mineral
-
Dolomite – Possible minor component
-
Quartz – Possible accessory mineral
-
Other accessory minerals – May contribute to the grey, olive-green, and charcoal veining
Chemical Composition (% by Weight)
No verified chemical analysis is available for this specific material. A laboratory analysis is required before publishing exact percentages. The composition is expected to be predominantly calcium carbonate, with possible magnesium, silica, iron, and other mineral-related components.

Maintenance
Clean regularly with a soft cloth or mop and a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid acidic products such as vinegar, lemon juice, and bathroom descalers, as they can etch the marble surface. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials and harsh chemicals. Apply a suitable penetrating sealer, particularly for countertops and bathroom applications, and reseal when necessary. Wipe spills promptly to prevent staining.
