The Legacy of Italian Calacatta Viola
The journey of Calacatta Viola Marble is one that spans centuries, beginning in the legendary quarries of Carrara, Italy. This region is celebrated for producing some of the world’s most exquisite marbles. At Pétra, we are privileged to work with this stone, transforming raw blocks of marble into stunning works of art.
Finding and Preparing the Quarry
Every piece of Calacatta Viola Marble at Pétra begins its journey in the ancient quarries of Carrara. Here, experts carefully select the best marble by studying the land and its features. Once the quarry is identified, the site is prepared, and access roads are built for the heavy machinery.
Extracting the Marble
Large blocks of marble are carefully cut from the quarry using specialized tools to avoid any cracks or damage. These massive blocks, with their unique purple and white veining, are then transported with great care to our facilities, where they’re stored and prepared for the next step.
Processing
At the facility, the marble blocks are cut into slabs or tiles, polished, and treated for durability. The marble undergoes a quality check before being shipped to production, ready to be transformed into finished products.
Shaping and Finishing Calacatta Viola
Once the Calacatta Viola slabs arrive at our facility, they go through several steps to become ready for use.  We cut the slabs into the right sizes and shapes for various furniture pieces, then polish them to highlight their natural beauty. We also treat the marble to make it more durable and stain-resistant. Throughout this process, we check the quality to ensure each piece meets our high standards.
Conclusion
Every slab of Calacatta Viola is one-of-a-kind, with its own distinct patterns, colors, and character. No two pieces are exactly alike, making each one a true original. Each slab has its own special look, thanks to careful extraction and processing. When you choose Calacatta Viola, you’re not just adding a beautiful material to your space—you’re bringing in a unique piece of art and rich with history.
