Bianco Carrara C/D (Italy). As this marble has a greyish background it is slightly inferior in quality to Marmo Bianco di Carrara (Carrara White Marble). The blocks have an average size of 3.00x1.70x1.70m. It is fine-grained and ideal for any surface finish. It is suitable for interiors and exteriors but can be slippery when wet.
