The Stone

See the natural beauty of White Carrara CD Extra up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this marble unique.

A wonderfully elegant Carrara marble from Tuscany, where strikingly crisp white is swept by distinct, strongly contrasting networks of darker silver-grey veining.

White Carrara CD Extra is an exceptionally refined, premium variation of classic Italian marble, quarried from the legendary slopes of Carrara in Tuscany. We’ve selected this grade for its noticeably brighter, beautifully whiter background — a strikingly crisp surface that stands apart from standard CD selections. It's heavily characterised by wonderfully distinct, strongly contrasting networks of sweeping darker silver-grey and fine charcoal-grey veining, creating a beautifully dramatic and highly active, yet impeccably clean, visual character that truly captivates.

Like all our marbles from Carrara, this stunning stone is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone under intense heat and pressure over millions of years. The distinctive patterns in White Carrara CD Extra arise from impurities like graphite and other minerals recrystallising within the calcite matrix, giving each slab its unique, sweeping grey veins. It’s this geological artistry, perfected deep within the Tuscan mountains, that lends our marble its enduring beauty and story.

At In2Stone, we believe in bringing this natural artistry into your home. White Carrara CD Extra makes a fabulously striking choice for highly sophisticated luxury worktops, splashbacks, and vanity tops. While marble is renowned for its timeless beauty, it is a naturally porous material, so we recommend regular sealing to protect its surface. Our passion for stone and meticulous craftsmanship means we handle every templating and installation with care, ensuring your White Carrara CD Extra worktop is not just installed, but beautifully integrated into your space, ready to be admired for generations.

Frequently Asked

Questions About White Carrara CD Extra

What makes White Carrara CD Extra's appearance unique?
This premium Carrara marble stands out with its noticeably brighter, beautifully whiter background compared to standard CD grades. It features strikingly crisp, strongly contrasting networks of sweeping darker silver-grey and fine charcoal-grey veining, which creates a dramatic yet impeccably clean visual character that’s highly sought after.
What design styles does White Carrara CD Extra complement best?
Its elegant, high-contrast appearance makes White Carrara CD Extra ideal for luxury and sophisticated design schemes. It beautifully enhances contemporary, minimalist kitchens, classic-revival spaces, and even more traditional interiors, providing a striking focal point with its bright white base and dynamic grey veins.
How durable is White Carrara CD Extra and what care does it require?
As a natural marble, it has a Mohs hardness of 3-5, meaning it's softer than granite and can scratch. It's also porous and acid-sensitive, so regular sealing is crucial to prevent staining and etching from acidic liquids. We always recommend cleaning spills promptly with a pH-neutral cleaner and using chopping boards and trivets to protect your beautiful surface.
Where is White Carrara CD Extra sourced from?
Our White Carrara CD Extra is sourced from the renowned quarries of Carrara, in the Tuscany region of Italy. This area is famous worldwide for producing some of the finest quality marbles, known for their beautiful white grounds and elegant grey veining, a testament to millions of years of geological formation.
How does White Carrara CD Extra compare to other Carrara marbles?
White Carrara CD Extra is selected for its superior bright white background and the distinct, strongly contrasting nature of its darker silver-grey veining, setting it above standard CD grades. This particular selection offers a more dramatic and refined aesthetic, making it a premium choice for those seeking a highly sophisticated and visually striking Carrara marble.
