Description

Mar Del Plata marble is a grey and white stone with a subtle blue undertone. It is one of the most prestigious stones on the market as its unique coloring and patterning make it a notable choice. Marble is a naturally found stone, so each slab will have a slightly different variation, but this feature allows homeowners to find their perfect piece and to always have something unique.

The blue undertone allows this piece to be a dramatic pop of color but the grey and white overtone keeps it from being too overpowering. For example, next to black cabinetry, this stone can add something special to the room. Large areas would allow this stone to be featured to its full potential. An island centerpiece with a waterfall edge, kitchen countertops, backsplashes, vanity tops or even fireplace surrounds will properly display such a beautiful stone. Marble requires regular maintenance in order to maintain its elegance and boldness. Mar del Plata is the name of a well-known beach town in Argentina, but you won’t have to travel far to bring the ocean waves to you with the Mar Del Plata marble design.

3. Why should I see a slab in person?
Since every slab of natural stone is completely unique, we recommend visiting one of our facilities to see slab patterns and variations in person.
4. Where does your material come from?
At marble.com we source our stone only from the most reputable quarries from around the globe, including those from Italy, Spain, Brazil, and India.
5. Why is some stone more expensive than others?

6. Do I have to seal natural stone?
We do recommend sealing natural stone countertops periodically, the frequency of sealing the stone depends on the material.
7. What is a honed finish?
A honed stone finish refers to the smooth, matte surface of the material, which creates a visibly lighter and softer tone. While honed finish might be an ideal design choice for some homeowners, it also makes the stone more susceptible to staining and etching.

Most chips, smaller than a dime in diameter, can be repaired by the homeowner using a chip repair kit. We do recommend professional service care for larger chips.
9. Can I install my own countertops?
