Equator

Equator Marble is a strikingly distinctive stone, captivating with its remarkably uniform, parallel horizontal striations. Across a pale grey-white base, mesmerising bands of medium grey and soft blue-grey flow with a precise, linear rhythm, creating a truly architectural statement on its polished surface. This unique horizontal banding beautifully evokes the geological layering of ancient sediments, displaying an exceptional regularity and elegance that sets it apart. Its cool grey-blue palette and unique striped character make it a dramatically modern choice for luxury worktops.

This extraordinary marble is quarried from the renowned Afyon region of Turkey, an area celebrated for its rich geological heritage. Like all marbles, Equator began its life as limestone or dolostone, transformed over millions of years through intense heat and pressure into the dense, interlocking crystalline structure we see today. The characteristic grey and blue-grey hues in its precise striations are a result of various accessory minerals, such as graphite or iron oxides, being incorporated during this metamorphic process, creating a natural artwork of unparalleled consistency.

At In2Stone, we see Equator Marble as an ideal material for crafting kitchens and bathrooms that demand a unique, sophisticated presence. While marble is known for its timeless beauty, we always ensure our clients understand its inherent properties; it’s a softer stone than granite and can react to acids, making regular sealing crucial for its longevity. We recommend considering a honed finish for high-traffic kitchen worktops if you prefer a more forgiving surface, though the polished finish truly highlights its linear brilliance. From hand-templating to precise installation, our passion is bringing such magnificent natural materials to life in your home, with honest advice and exceptional craftsmanship at every step.
