Carrara Marble and Granite supply the latest and largest range of Marble Slabs in Sydney. Our Marble is available in a wide range of colours, patterns and finishes. Marble is a metamorphic rock swirled or clouded with colour, but calcite and dolomite marbles, for example, are pure white. Its unique texture derives from the size and uniformity of the grains within it, its special colours due to the various elements and compounds it contains.

Marble is ideal for use as a floor or wall covering and creates a distinguished classical look that complements every environment.

We highly recommend a physical inspection in person to truly appreciate the colours and finishes. We encourage you to visit our showroom to see the wide selection of Marble Slabs available.
