The word "marble" comes from the Greek «μάρμαρο» (marmaro), which means shining stone. And Calacatta Lucina marble is one of the glossiest stones used in interior and exterior design. It is dominantly white with bold grey veiny patterns, which make it perfect for personalized, glamourous design projects. It is similar to the Carrara marble, except this one has a more superficial veiny pattern and its whiteness is not as intense as the Calacatta Lucina's. This type of marble is also very durable and dense with a cubic meter weighing 2834 kg.
