Calacatta Betogli Extra is a marble quarried from a bedrock quarry in Italy. It is characterized by light grey veining in varying thicknesses. Thin gold veins and spots of pyrite adorn a creamy white background, making this marble a striking display of natural art. This quality of Calacatta Betogli Extra is less than 10% of the quarry output, making it extremely exclusive and difficult to get on a regular basis. As a softer stone, it may be susceptible to scratching or abrasion. During slab processing, a polyester resin is applied to the surface of the stone to fill in any small pits. It may be possible to have an oxidation vein on some slabs. Finally, a mesh backing is adhered to the stone.
As a natural stone product, it is recommended that this be sealed to extend its longevity. Natural stone may absorb moisture during fabrication and from installation materials. Therefore, it is recommended that sealing should be done after the stone has fully dried to ensure proper sealer absorption, and prior to consumer use. Drying time will vary depending on the stone, as well as the temperature and humidity level. After sealing, allow it to cure completely. Arizona Tile suggests using a solvent-based impregnating sealer for the initial sealing.
