MARBLE
WHISPERS OF ETERNITY IN EVERY VEIN
Marble is a limestone that through pressure and heat has been recrystallized. During this process, various minerals enter the stone, which leads to a variety of colors, patterns, and veining of the stone. This means that every piece of stone is unique, and the colors and veining will vary for each product.

THE HISTORY OF EARTH IN YOUR HOME
Marble is a limestone that through pressure and heat has been recrystallized. During this process, various minerals enter the stone which leads to a variety of colors, patterns, and veining of the stone. All stones have veining and crystallizations that can appear to be cracks or pits but are natural properties of the marble.
Natural stone exhibits color variation related to the formation of the stone and its mineral composition. Similarly, veins with color variation are the result of the natural inclusion of minerals during the formation of the stone. Natural stone is a porous material containing small bubbles, causing small natural incisions when the material is cut to a flat surface, also known as tarolo. All of these natural properties of the marble will result in unique variations that can be found within the character of the final product.
UNIQUE VARIATIONS & NATURAL COLORWAYS
Created geologically over millions of years, the gradual transformation of each marble stone results in individual properties. Each type of marble has its unique composition, color, texture, and physical properties, giving a sense of individuality and character to the finished products. No piece of marble is the same, allowing each slab of marble stone to have subtle differences, making every piece truly unique and one of a kind. This individuality, manifested in the intricate veining and subtle variations, elevates marble furniture to singular works of natural art, each telling its own story of Earth’s timeless artistry.

Q: Are GUBI's stone products coated or sealed?
A: Each limestone, marble, and travertine from GUBI is treated and sealed with a special coating to help protect the material and extend the useful life of the product. We seal the surface to make it more resistant to water, oil, and dirt, and prevent the stone from turning yellow over time. This treatment does NOT eliminate results from the incorrect use and maintenance of our stone material; Read our complete care and maintenance guide on travertine here.

A:To maintain the beauty of marble, regular cleaning is essential. Do not use scouring pads, acidic detergents, or abrasive cleaning products of any kind, as this may permanently scratch, stain, or damage the surface. Read our complete care and maintenance guide on marble here.
