The Apuan Mountain Range in Carrara, Italy is where Calacatta marble is mined. This color, which has taken the world by storm, has come to represent luxury and opulence. The colours mined here have a bright white background with a foreground of striking, dramatic veins that range in tone from brown/tan to grey and gold. This hue is bold and daring, just as Michelangelo has done with his masterpieces. The accuracy and intensity of Michelangelo's art have never been matched. It has a unique polished beauty due to the movement of mixed lines of grey and gold on the white surface. Though foreign, the blending of two hues is delicate and unique enough to be used in any space desired.
