Both Carrara and Calacatta marble share the same geographic origin, their distinct veining patterns, background colors, and overall aesthetics set them apart. Carrara marble tends to be a more subtle and versatile choice, while Calacatta marble is celebrated for its bold, luxurious appearance. The choice between the two often comes down to personal preference, the desired look for a specific project and the budget with Calacatta slab being sometimes even 10 times more expensive than Carrara slab.
