I'm sorry but we do not ship out slabs
Hi, Calacatta stone is really soft so I would recommend you to seal it every six months also after the installation.
One of the strongest stone protectors on the market that I
recommend is the DuPont StoneTech Bulletproof Sealer:

and you should watch the following video to learn the steps
on how to seal your granite properly and efficiently:

I also strongly recommend to purchase and use the AGM
Natural Granite Cleaner for the countertop cleaning &
maintenance purposes:

Good luck !
I have a marble counter top in my kitchen "Calacatta " I love the look - but how can I clean it so the water mark will not show-
You could consider using one of the light quartzites. These look similar to marble (albeit with visible crystalline structure), and are very resistant to etching and scratching (since they're almost pure quartz). The slight issue is chipping (again, because of the crystalline structure), but in the grand scheme of things, quartzite is still a lot easier to live with than marble. You can check them out here: http://www.marble.com/material...
I love to use Calacatta Gold in my kitchen and bathroom. But I am worry for the stain and all the wear-down issues. What should I do? Use it or go with the natural granite? Thanks.
You can use marble if you want, but just be prepared for a certain degree of wear-down that the countertops will shown over time such as etches, stains, and chips. Unless you will rarely use the kitchen for cooking and are very careful. In addition, you can help minimize these issues by choosing a honed surface finish and sealing the stone every six months wit a strong, professional sealer. Marble such as Calacatta Gold is very unique-looking and you will not find any granite like it. Stronger stones that look similar to marble and are popular for kitchen countertops are colors such as Classic White and White Fantasy. Hope this helps!
I am looking to Calacatta GOld (mostly taupe veining) in my kitchen, but of course everyone says "Marble isn't good for a kitchen!" Help! It's the look I want with dark cherry cabinets and very light blue/gray walls. Any suggestions
You would have to keep the Calcatta marble sealed to keep it stain resistant. Marble has been used in showers for hundreds of years with great success.

Unfortunately, we do not carry tiles. We have large, full slabs which are much thicker than tile so you may want to consider contacting a tile vendor in your area. Good luck!
I'm looking for 18x18 or 24x24 tiles in Calcutta gold. I need 96 square feet. Can you help me with this order?
Calacatta marble can surely be fabricated into a round table top to the measurements you require. Just make sure you have adequate support with the iron base as marble is softer and fragile compared to granite. For pricing on this project, please contact our sales office: www.marble.com/contact
Hi I am looking to make a rather large dining room table top..I am hoping to find either a Calcutta gold or something similar in a 75" round for an iron base. Is that even possible and what would you suggest?
Hello. For a price, you must contact our sales office with the measurements that you require for the project: www.marble.com/contact

Remember, shipments of the stone will vary so it’s always best to view the slabs in person to see the beautiful features the stone has to offer. Before any fabricator does the cutting, you should approve the slab and the layout to make sure you get exactly what you want.
