Choosing the right natural stone for your table is more than just an aesthetic decision - it's an investment in timeless elegance and durability.

In this article, we will explore the benefits of different types of natural stone, focusing on eight unique types of natural stone: Verde Guatemala, Bianco Cararra, Emperador Marron, Nero Marquina, Crema Marfil, Calacatta Viola, Venom, and Olympus White.

Aspects to consider when choosing your natural stone

The natural stone type – marble, limestone or quartzite

Marble is known for its timeless elegance and the characteristic veins and grains that give each piece a unique personality and represent one-of-a-kind pieces of nature. Verde Guatemala, with its vibrant green, captures the beauty of nature and brings this vitality into your living spaces. Bianco Cararra, an Italian classic, presents itself in a brilliant white with gray veins and gives your home a timeless elegance. Emperador Marron is a structured masterpiece of nature that impresses with various shades of brown. Marble has always been a popular material for interior design and skilfully survives the trends of the time. After all , the Greeks and ancient Egyptians loved to use marble.

Quartzites combine the natural beauty of nature with remarkable hardness and robustness. Our Venom is a block quartzite from Brazil that is about 350 million years old and draws attention with its white and grey veining. Quartzites are a good choice for those who find marble too delicate. But don't worry, marble is also easy to clean .

Limestone , another fascinating type of natural stone, differs significantly from marble in its formation and structural composition . Unlike marble, which is formed by the metamorphosis of limestone, limestone is formed primarily from deposits of shells, skeletons and corals. This sedimentary stone impresses with its soft texture and a palette of warm tones, including cream, beige and grey. Limestones also come in bolder colours, such as our Nero Marquina, which impresses with its deep black.

Colors – Mother Nature’s vast color palette

Country of origin – authenticity and quality

The origin of the natural stone plays a crucial role in terms of quality and authenticity. Fortunately, MAGNA Atelier only selects high-quality natural stone varieties for you and you can be sure that all our varieties are of high quality.

Italian marble varieties such as Bianco Cararra and Calacatta Viola are known worldwide for their quality and beauty. Spanish marble, such as Emperador Marron and Crema Marfil, brings Mediterranean elegance to your home and also impresses with its robustness and quality.

If you like something a little more exotic and unusual, then quartzites from Brazil, like our Venom quartzite from the Original Line, offer an interesting way to satisfy your wanderlust at home. 

Maybe you simply have a country that is particularly close to your heart and would like to have a “piece” of this country – natural stone tables make it possible.

Our most popular natural stone types

Verde Guatemala – Living nature in green stone

Verde Guatemala, also known as “Green Guatemala,” is a 163-million-year-old metamorphite from India that captures the essence of nature with its vibrant green color and delicate veins.

Verde Guatemala takes its name from a natural stone that was formerly mined in Guatemala.

However, the quarry has come to a standstill. Today's Verde Guatemala looks very similar to the green stone from Guatemala, which is why the Indian stone got its Guatemalan (yes, it's spelled that way) name. 

This stone is particularly suitable for dining room tables that are intended to create a connection with nature.

The green nuances bring freshness to the room and harmonize wonderfully with wooden or metallic accents.

Bianco Cararra – Classic beauty from the Apuan Alps

Mined in the Cararra Quarries of Italy, Bianco Cararra is an epitome of timeless elegance and the quintessential classic marble.

With its white base color and subtle gray veins, this marble has been popular in sculpture and architecture for centuries.

A dining table or coffee table made of Bianco Cararra will not only be the centerpiece of your room, but also a timeless work of art of nature that will decorate your living space.

Emperador Marron – Rustic charm from Spain

The Emperador Marron marble from Spain is characterized by its warm brown tones and characteristic veins.

This lively natural stone gives your table a rustic elegance and is particularly suitable for traditional or Mediterranean interior styles.

The robustness of marble ensures that your table not only looks beautiful, but also withstands daily wear and tear and will last for generations.

The Emperador Marrron is a real eye-catcher and is often chosen for international luxury construction projects. The brown marble is elegant, vibrant and exudes natural beauty.

Nero Marquina – timeless elegance in deep black

Nero Marquina, a 310-million-year-old limestone from northern Spain, impresses with its deep, almost impenetrable black hue and striking white veins.

This black marble gives your table a modern and luxurious look.

Combine it with light furniture and decorations to create contrast and highlight the elegance of this stone.

Nero Marquina fits perfectly into any living style and is a timeless all-rounder.

Crema Marfil – Mediterranean warmth from Spain

The Crema Marfil marble, also from Spain, presents a warm beige color and fine veins that give any room Mediterranean warmth and timeless elegance.

The Crema Marfil is one of our absolute bestsellers.

This type of natural stone is ideal for tables that are intended to create a timeless yet cozy atmosphere.

Crema Marfil harmonizes particularly well with wooden furniture and neutral colors or blends unobtrusively into any living style.

Calacatta Viola – Extravaganz in Violett

Calacatta Viola, a rare and exquisite marble from the Cararra quarries in Italy, stands out with its striking purple veins on a white background.

The Calacatta Viola quarry is gradually coming to a standstill, which is why this material is currently in high demand and can offer good value retention.

This special and exquisite marble will add a touch of extravagance to your table and living space and is perfect for those looking for a unique and luxurious design.

Combine Calacatta Viola with minimalist furniture to emphasize the beauty of this stone and use it as a statement piece in the room.

Olympus White – Elegance from Greece

Olympus White, a white and historic marble from Greece, impresses with its elegant look and gentle veins.

This natural stone creates a sublime atmosphere and is particularly suitable for modern, minimalist designs.
