Product Overview
Calacatta Michelangelo is an exclusive Italian white marble recognized for its exceptionally bright background and powerful, sculptural veining. Compared to other Calacatta varieties, Michelangelo typically presents higher contrast and a more artistic vein layout, often resembling natural brushstrokes across a white canvas.
Due to its rarity and visual strength, Calacatta Michelangelo is most often specified for statement applications where the stone itself becomes a central design element rather than a background material.
Natural Variation & Slab Selection
Calacatta Michelangelo is characterized by high movement and strong individuality.
Typical features include:
Bright white base with sharp contrast
Wide, flowing grey veins with dramatic direction
Significant variation between slabs and quarry blocks
For premium projects, individual slab selection, slab photography, and layout planning are strongly recommended, especially for bookmatching and large feature surfaces.

✔ Feature walls and statement cladding
