Marmara Equator — also known as Marmara White — is Turkey's iconic white marble with crisp linear grey stripes, a timeless look that has defined Turkish stone for centuries.
Quarried in the Marmara region, this is one of Turkey's most historic marbles: a white-to-grey base crossed by distinctive linear grey stripes (the "equator" line) that give floors, walls and bathrooms a clean, graphic, timeless character. Vein-cut, the stripes run straight and architectural; the look is unmistakably Turkish white marble.
It suits flooring, wall cladding, bathrooms, feature walls and classic interiors. Stripe density and tone vary; vein-cut and bookmatch selection confirmed on live slabs.
