Mugla White: complete guide
Mugla White is a crystalline, bright Turkish white marble with faint grey veins. It is a versatile solution for those looking for a classic white with good availability.
History and origin
It comes from the province of Muğla in south-western Turkey, one of the country's most productive marble districts. The white marbles from this area are exported in large quantities for residential and hotel construction. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is white, sometimes slightly grey, with visible crystals and more or less pronounced grey veins. Between batches the tone can vary from pure white to greyish white. Polishing makes the surface glossy, honing warmer and more uniform.
