Carrara C Marble
Origin and appearance of Carrara C Marble
Carrara C is one of the whitest Italian Carrara selections; its greyer counterpart is Carrara CD Marble.
Its fine crystalline structure is crossed by delicate grey to charcoal veining, with density varying by block and slab.
This marble was formed during the Jurassic period and belongs to the geological history of the Apuan Alps.
Carrara marble has been worked since antiquity for functional, decorative and commemorative objects.
Large-scale quarrying expanded under Roman rule, when Carrara marble was used for major public buildings and sculpture.
Its luminous white ground and restrained veining make it an enduring architectural classic.
Marbre Import selects lots from the same block to achieve consistent colour and veining across the project.
Characteristics and uses of Carrara C Marble
Carrara C is a reliable, refined white marble for demanding interior projects.
It is ideal for clients seeking a bright, lightly veined surface, compared with the more expressive Carrara Venatino Marble or other Carrara varieties such as Statuario Marble and Arabescato.
It is suitable for floors, walls, staircases, benches, tables, bars and bespoke stonework. Exterior use should be assessed according to the lot, finish, climate and installation system.
Its structure can allow thin-format fabrication, subject to dimensions, reinforcement and technical approval.

Specifying Carrara C Marble for a high-end project
Carrara C Marble is a refined white stone for projects where the material must convey elegance, light and lasting value: floors, bathrooms, walls, fireplaces, lobbies, hotels, restaurants, boutiques and high-end residential interiors.
For architects and designers
Assessment of the veining, large-format appearance, layout coherence, installation constraints and expected maintenance level.
For stone contractors and project teams
Approval of the lot, thicknesses, finishes, fabrication, transport and technical feasibility before ordering.
For discerning private clients
Comparison with related stones, colour and finish selection, maintenance guidance and support through to quotation. For high-end projects, Marbre Import can also coordinate the complete stonework package on the client’s behalf.
How should the actual stone lot be approved?
Approval should consider the available lot, colour, veining, format, finish, thickness and intended application. Marbre Import can support selection with slab photographs, samples and technical data.
Can this stone be used in kitchens and bathrooms?
Suitability depends on the stone, finish, treatment, expected maintenance and exposure to staining or acidic products. Technical guidance is recommended before ordering.
Why is pricing provided on request?
Pricing varies with the lot, origin, availability, thickness, finish, quantities, fabrication and transport. A tailored quotation reflects the actual project rather than a theoretical list price.
