Marble Color Groups

See actual quarry photos!

 

The images below are block samples of the marbles used in our larger carved items such as Statues, Busts, Urns, Columns, etc.   We've tried to match the colors here on the site with the actual color as closely as possible.  Because marble is natural stone, actual colors, grain textures, and appearance will vary from piece to piece.

Remember, all marble is a natural
rock, and like the graining on a piece
of wood, no two pieces will ever
be the same, nor can we predict
graining while carving.

An example would be carving a
white statue and as the face is being
carved, a light graining cuts through
the face...it happens and there is
nothing we can do to change that.

Green Granite
White with medium graining- mostly
black in color
 
  Orange-Black Granite
Mostly orange, but some graining, ranging from
light to heavy, of black inclusions

Rosette - our newest find!  Can be used with any carving even large items.  Pinkish colored with medium to heavy graining and inclusions

The colors represented here are all naturally occurring in the quarries and production facilities we deal with. These samples are from close-up photos of the actual marble that has been polished.  Other colors may be available from time-to-time.

Remember - no two pieces of marble look the same!  Just like wood has grains that will look different from piece to piece, so to is marble.  Because it is a naturally occurring rock, the grains, veins, and colors will always vary.
