About This Stone
Carrara White Marble Slab: The World's Most Recognised Luxury Stone
Our Carrara White Marble Slab is sourced directly from the Apuan Alps of Tuscany — the same mountains that supplied Michelangelo and the builders of ancient Rome. For over two thousand years, this stone has defined the highest standard of architectural marble: a soft white-to-light-grey background with characteristic fine grey veining that is simultaneously timeless and design-versatile, working as fluently in a contemporary minimalist bathroom as in a grand classical hallway.
At HD Stone, we supply Carrara White Marble Slab stock factory-direct from our Shuitou, Fujian processing facility — the global centre of the stone industry. This means you receive consistent grade quality, competitive pricing, and full traceability from quarry to shipping container, with no middlemen adding cost or uncertainty.
Each Carrara White Marble Slab is available in commercial and select grades, multiple finishes and thicknesses, and custom cut-to-size for architectural specifications. Bookmatch pairs are available on request for feature wall installations.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the difference between Carrara, Calacatta, and Statuario marble?
All three are Italian white marbles from the same Apuan Alps region, but they differ significantly. Carrara has the softest, most consistent veining on a white-to-grey background — it is the most widely available and mid-range in price. Calacatta has a brighter white background with bolder, more dramatic gold and grey veining — it is rarer and commands a premium price. Statuario is the most exclusive, with an almost pure white background and bold dark grey veins — it is the most expensive and rarest of the three.
Q2. What finishes are available for Carrara White Marble slabs?
We supply Carrara White Marble in Polished (high-gloss, recommended for walls and countertops), Honed (matte, recommended for floors and wet areas), Brushed/Leathered (textured, excellent slip resistance for floors), and Sandblasted (rough texture for outdoor applications in frost-free climates). Custom finishes are available on request.
Q3. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
