Calcite Caraibica Marble finishes
The finish changes the reflection and feel of the crystal bands; in showers and floors it also decides how slippery the surface is.
-
Polished
The one with the most shine and reflection. When wet it is more slippery than matte finishes.
-
Honed
Matte and smooth to the touch; when wet it is less slippery than polished, so it is the choice for showers and bathroom floors.
-
Backlit
With light behind, the crystals that let light through light up. It is a finish only for translucent slabs.

Questions about Calcite Caraibica Marble
How is it different from Azul Calcite marble?
Azul Calcite gathers coarse greyish-blue crystals on a white background and keeps a whiter diagonal band. This stone spreads the color into horizontal bands and adds sage green and beige to the mix. Compare the photos of the two slabs on the Azul Calcite marble page.
How does Calcite Caraibica marble perform as a countertop?
As a countertop, this stone handles the heat of daily use. What you have to accept is the patina: lemon juice, wine or tomato leave a dull mark on the polish, which is a chemical reaction, not a stain. If you want a countertop with no marks at all, this is not your stone; the granite comparison is in the marble or granite guide.
What care does Calcite Caraibica marble need?
For everyday cleaning, neutral soap and water are enough. Wine or lemon juice acid etches the shine of the bands, so wipe it up with a cloth as soon as it spills. Before the slab is installed, the water drop test tells you how much it absorbs; sealer slows that absorption and does not make it waterproof.
Is the Calcite Caraibica photo of a real slab?
Yes. It is a photo of a real Calcite Caraibica marble slab; the close-up detail comes from that same slab. The piece you receive will carry its own pattern. Before you buy, we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
How does Calcite Caraibica marble 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.
