Calacata Macaubas is a quartzite with a soft white background which is complemented with smoky gray veins to create a marble like movement. It greatly resembles the Italian Calacatta marbles in appearance, but without any of the weaknesses. Being a quartzite, Calacata Macaubas is extremely dense, making it less likely to chip, crack, or even stain as easily (remembering that marble is usually used to make statues due to its malleability).
