Marble is formed by nature over millions of years, therefore no two marble slabs are the same. Marble varies in appearance within the same color, from slab to slab, and lot to lot, depending on where and when it was mined.
We were looking for quartz countertops for our new build. When we drove up to the Magic City Granite business, I immediately fell in love with the FIRST piece we saw -- Cambria Brittanicca. We ordered it for our kitchen countertops and backsplash, island and waterfall, and banquette table. Absolutely stunning!! We highly recommend for quality, service, and installation. Thank you Marianne and Magic City Granite.
Marble is versatile and suitable for installation in various interior environments, including both commercial and residential settings.
Marble is most commonly known for its white color tones, but is also available in a range of warm, rich hues including taupe, blue, brown, gray, and black. The veining in marble can be intense and dramatic or soft and muted depending on the stone and the region its quarried.

As a product of nature, marble has a timeless and enduring quality that never expires, regardless of trends. It maintains its natural beauty and stands the test of time.
Marble is renowned for its enduring quality and durability, provided it receives proper care and maintenance. While some varieties of marble, being softer stones, may be more prone to scratching or etching, they can still serve as beautiful and durable options. Throughout history, marble has been utilized in the construction of timeless structures such as statues and capitol buildings, showcasing its resilience. Additionally, there are harder marbles with a higher quartz content that can withstand heavy use while preserving their original appearance. Marble is more apt than other natural stone types to need regular maintenance.
Marble is one of the most heat resistant products for countertops. However, it can be damaged by extreme direct heat exposure. Hot items such as pots and pans should not be placed directly on Marble. As a safety precaution, use coasters or trivets on countertop areas.
Due to the inherent properties and characteristics of the stone, seams may be noticeable. The visibility and feel of seams can vary depending on the color of the stone. While seams may be seen, skilled craftsmanship and proper installation techniques can minimize their appearance and create a more seamless and cohesive look. Our experienced team at Magic City Granite ensures meticulous attention to detail during installation to achieve the best possible result and create a visually pleasing countertop surface.
A quality sealer will penetrate the stone and allows the stone’s natural beauty to shine through. Unsealed stone is more susceptible to absorbing moisture, dirt, and cleaning chemicals. Therefore, it is recommended that a sealer be applied soon after installation and re-sealed every six months.
To ensure the longevity of your natural stone, it is advised to follow a simple care routine. Start by wiping the surface with a soft cloth before using a pH-neutral cleaner or warm water for cleaning. By promptly addressing spills, you can minimize the appearance of any marks that may result from regular usage. Additionally, using mats or coasters as a precautionary measure can help prevent potential etching or scratching of the marble.
