Calacatta Lincoln

Calacatta Lincoln carries a provenance unlike any other marble in our collection. Quarried from the Colorado Yule marble deposit in the Rocky Mountain town of Marble, Colorado, this is the very same stone used to construct the Lincoln Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier — two of America's most sacred monuments. The quarry, discovered in 1873 by geologist Sylvester Richardson, produces a nearly pure calcite marble with subtle grey veining that evokes the Calacatta marbles of Italy. What makes Colorado Yule marble exceptional is its purity and density. Nearly pure calcite with only minor inclusions of mica, quartz, and feldspar, the stone has a crystalline clarity that captures and reflects light in a way that few marbles can match. The grey veining is subtle and refined, tracing gentle paths across the white surface without overwhelming it — a quiet sophistication that belies the stone's grand architectural history. In2stone is proud to offer this remarkable American marble as an alternative to Italian Calacatta varietites. Our craftsmen bring the same meticulous attention to detail to Colorado Yule marble as they would to any Carrara stone — careful templating, precise cutting, and seamless installation that honours the stone's heritage and beauty.
