Marble is most commonly used in bathrooms as it is more resilient to make up and other similar products.

Imagine a sweeping marble foyer, a fireplace adorned in marble, a bathroom with elegance that only marble can provide, a backsplash that presents innovation yet timeless sophistication.

All of this can be in your home with your imagination and the expertise at La Terra Stone.

Formed under intense pressure and heat, marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Geologists use the term "marble" to refer to metamorphosed limestone.

It is one of the most elegant, natural stones and should be treated like a fine piece of wood, avoiding sharp objects that will scratch, hot appliances that will scorch and spills from citric acids, alcohols, vinegar and oils.

Marble is most commonly used in bathrooms as it is more resilient to make up and other similar products. It is not quite as durable as other natural stones such as granite but with proper sealing, can be in a kitchen that is not heavily used. Properly sealing both granite and marble extends its lustrous appeal.

Marble has been used for thousands of years. Its beauty is undeniable.

Imagine the statues in Athens, Greece, in the Vatican in Rome — these are just a few examples of its magnificence.

The Taj Mahal is clad entirely in Marble!

You can choose from a variety of colors and textures from White Carrara to Rain Forest. Marble is not only used as vanity counter tops, but also as fireplace mantles, staircases and floors.
