Marmara White & Marmara Equator Marbles

Learn about Marmara White and Marmara Equator marbles—Turkey’s iconic striped marbles used in bathrooms, spas, and modern interiors. Applications, patterns and advantages.

Marmara White and Marmara Equator marbles are among the most iconic natural stones from Turkey. Quarried on the island of Marmara in the Sea of Marmara, these materials have been used for thousands of years in traditional Turkish hammams, classical architecture and modern high-end projects worldwide.

Both materials are known for their distinctive parallel grey stripes, making them ideal for contemporary settings where clean lines and rhythmic patterns are desired. These marbles are frequently supplied for bathrooms, spa areas, wall cladding, shower walls, feature walls and bookmatched applications throughout international markets.

Characteristics of Marmara White
