Calacatta Gold Aspen

Calacatta Gold Aspen marble is quarried from a bedrock gallery quarry in Aspen, Colorado. A gallery quarry is when they tunnel into the mountain carving out a large opening or room as they remove the blocks. The main gallery quarry, which is closed, is over 100 years old and was once owned by the Rockefellers and supplied marble for the Lincoln Monument. The current gallery which is located higher on the mountain is 10 years old and uses modern extraction methods to remove the blocks. Calacatta Gold Aspen has a creamy background which is interspersed with gold, taupe and grey veining which have similar characteristics to the much adored Italian Calacatta marble. Piece to piece variation in shade or color are inherent in all natural stone products; therefore, when installing natural stone tile, it is recommended to mix tiles from several boxes at a time during installation to achieve the best range of color. When installing white marble, you must use a white thinset. Using grey thinset will leave trowel lines and could stain the marble. As natural stone products, it is recommended that these be sealed to extend their longevity.
