Calacatta Gold Italian Marble Tile

Shop Calacatta Gold marble tile: bold gold veining on a bright white ground, in field tile, mosaics, checkerboard and trim.

Calacatta Gold is among the most sought-after marbles in the world — quarried in the Apuan Alps of Carrara, Italy, with a bright white ground and bold, branching gold and warm honey-toned veining that makes every piece immediately identifiable. Every product in this collection is confirmed Italian origin.

What Sets Calacatta Gold Apart

Where Bianco Carrara is subtle and consistent, Calacatta Gold is bold and variable. The gold veining sweeps across the white ground in patterns that range from fine branching lines to dramatic diagonal strokes spanning the full face of a tile. This variation is the stone's defining characteristic — the reason Calacatta Gold is specified for feature walls, statement backsplashes, and high-visibility applications.
