Marble often has dramatic veining characteristics, like squiggly and winding veins, as seen in the photo on the left, from the Ann Sacks Aria line. The photo on the right also features Ann Sacks marble (from the Asher Grey line), but with rare linear veining, giving the marble a striped appearance. Both photos feature glossy, polished marble, but marble is also available with a tumbled or honed finish.
While you’ll find marble in a variety of colors and patterns, certain colors and patterns are rarer than others, and those varieties are on the high end of the price spectrum.
