Calcutta Black Marble is a striking natural stone known for its deep black background and dramatic white or gold veining. Despite its name, it is not true marble but rather a type of **limestone** that has been polished to a high shine, giving it a marble-like appearance.
# # # **Key Features of Calcutta Black Marble:**
- **Color:** Jet black with bold white or golden veins.
- **Origin:** Mined primarily in India (similar to the more famous **Calacatta marble**, but darker).
- **Finish:** Typically polished for a luxurious, reflective surface.
- **Durability:** Softer than true marble, so it requires sealing to prevent staining and etching.
# # # **Uses:**
- **Countertops** (less common due to maintenance but used in low-traffic areas)
- **Flooring & Wall Cladding**
- **Backsplashes & Feature Walls**
- **Luxury Furniture & Decorative Accents**
# # # **Comparison with Other Black Marbles:**
- **Absolute Black Granite:** Pure black, no veining, more durable.
- **Nero Marquina Marble:** Black with subtle white veins (true marble).
- **Black Limestone:** Similar but often less polished.
# # # **Care Tips:**
- Seal regularly to prevent stains.
- Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon juice).
- Use coasters under glasses to prevent etching.
