Where is Calacatta from?
Calacatta comes from Italy (Carrara). Akrruthi sells every stone under its true origin.
Is Calacatta good for kitchen countertops?
No. Acids etch it. For a counter, choose granite and keep Calacatta for living and bedroom flooring and feature walls.
Which finish is best for Calacatta?
Calacatta can take these finishes: polished and honed. It is most often sold polished. Polished shows colour and pattern most strongly; honed and textured finishes are matt and give more grip. Ask which finish is available in the lot you choose.
