Calacatta Lincoln Satin 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 Lincoln Satin has a white background with grey veins which varies from thin to wide. 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 a natural stone product, it is recommended that this be sealed to extend its longevity.
