Arabescato Corchia Calacatta Select honed marble slab, bright white field with bold painterly grey veining and faint gold passages, lifted by crane in front of the Royal Stone sign at the Los Angeles yard

Arabescato Corchia sits in the family between Arabescato proper and the Calacatta cuts — quarried in the Apuans above Carrara, distinguished by bright white background and looser, more brush-like gray veining than the harder strokes of a Borghini. The Calacatta Select grade keeps the field clean and the vein structure balanced rather than chaotic.

The matte surface keeps the gray veining quiet and lets the white read soft rather than reflective.
From the slab arrival, 2024

Honed. The matte surface keeps the gray veining quiet and lets the white read soft rather than reflective. It's a forgiving cut for full bath walls and continuous waterfall islands — the vein density is high enough to be visible but loose enough that minor color shifts across the slab don't read as flaws.

On the floor in honed. Sequential slabs from the same block can be pulled for bookmatched runs; ask at the showroom. Walk the actual slab in daylight before committing — Arabescato photographs cooler than it reads in person.
