The Stone

See the natural beauty of Calacatta Lincoln up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this marble unique.

An American marble of monumental heritage — the same stone that built the Lincoln Memorial, now crafted into luxury worktops.

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.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Calacatta Lincoln

Is Calacatta Lincoln the same marble used in the Lincoln Memorial?
Yes, Calacatta Lincoln (also known as Colorado Yule marble) comes from the same quarry that supplied marble for the Lincoln Memorial, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and many other iconic American monuments. The quarry is located near the town of Marble in Colorado's Crystal River Valley.
How does Calacatta Lincoln compare to Italian Calacatta marbles?
Calacatta Lincoln has a bright white base with subtle, refined grey veining — less bold than Italian Calacatta Gold but comparable in purity and luminosity. It's a nearly pure calcite marble, giving it excellent crystalline clarity. It offers a distinctly American provenance as an alternative to Italian marble.
What design styles work with Calacatta Lincoln marble?
The clean, understated veining suits both traditional and contemporary interiors. It pairs beautifully with classic American Colonial or Federal-style homes, as well as modern minimalist spaces. The subtle veining makes it very versatile for large runs and open-plan kitchens.
Where exactly is the Colorado Yule marble quarry?
The quarry sits in the Yule Creek Valley, about three miles southeast of the town of Marble, Colorado, in the Crystal River Valley. Discovered in 1873 by geologist Sylvester Richardson, it is one of the few premium white marble quarries outside of Italy and Greece.
Does Calacatta Lincoln marble require the same care as Italian marble?
Yes, the care requirements are identical to Italian marble — seal every 6-12 months, clean with pH-neutral stone cleaner, avoid acidic substances, and wipe spills immediately. As a nearly pure calcite marble, it has the same acid sensitivity as all marble types.
