Questions about Calacatta Bluette marble
What sets Calacatta Bluette apart from white Calacatta?
Calacatta wraps large white fragments in wide, diffuse light gray veins. Bluette spreads fine white and gray strokes, very dense and on the diagonal, over a bluish gray background. The two photos side by side show it best: open the Calacatta marble page.
Does Calacatta Bluette marble work in the kitchen?
It works if you accept patina: over the years the stone takes wear marks that can be polished out again. Lemon, wine or vinegar leave a dull mark on the gloss: wipe them up right away. If you want a countertop that always looks new, compare first on the natural stone for kitchens page.
How do you maintain Calacatta Bluette marble day to day?
Clean the bluish gray background with water and neutral soap, and keep acidic cleaners aside. If wine, lemon or tomato spills, pick it up right away so the acid does not dull the shine. Check porosity with a water drop: if the stone absorbs it, it is time for sealer, which reduces absorption without making it waterproof.
