The Calacatta name was originally used for the marble coming from the Carrara Area in Italy, then copied and used to name another Brazilian Quartzite. The choice between Calacatta marble and quartzite depends on your preferences and the specific requirements of your project. Calacatta marble offers a timeless, luxurious aesthetic but requires more maintenance, while quartzite provides durability and a marble-like appearance with less susceptibility to staining and etching. Each material has its own unique charm, and the decision comes down to what aligns best with your design goals and lifestyle.
