What Calacatta Oro Looks Like
Golden ochre over white: on this slab the few fine veins branch and cross on the diagonal. The palette is completed by soft beige areas. The gold contrasts partially with the background, and its path changes moderately within the same slab, photographed with a high polish.

Finishes for Calacatta Oro
The finish decides how much the white shines and how visible the everyday marks are.
-
Polished
The high shine in the Oro's photo; it is the finish that shows an acid mark on the white first.
-
Honed
It dulls the shine and leaves the surface smooth; made for the bathroom floor, where wet polish gets slippery.
-
Brushed
It breaks the shine with a light texture; it works on floors that get traffic, where the Oro's polish would wear away.

Questions about Calacatta Oro
Is the Calacatta Oro photo of a real slab?
Real: it is a slab of Calacatta Oro with a high polish. Each slab carries its own vein path, so you choose yours by looking at it. Before you buy, we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
What is the difference between Calacatta Oro and Calacatta Classic?
The color of the vein. In the Calacatta Classic photo, the veins are light gray, fine, and diagonal across the whole slab. On yours, the Oro has a few fine golden ochre veins, also diagonal, with soft beige areas over the white.
Does Calacatta Oro marble work for a kitchen countertop?
Yes, if you know how it ages. A drop of wine or vinegar dulls the Oro's polish: it is a chemical reaction, not a stain. Polishing again erases those marks. If you want none of that, Marble or granite? has the comparison.
How does Calacatta Oro reach my country?
We ship to any country, with the stone's documents of origin and its CE certification. On the shipping page we explain how it reaches each region.
