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.
