CREMA MARBLE FROM TURKEY


We call it Crema Marble. You'll call it crème de la crème. This beautiful creamy-tan colored marble from Turkey is exceptionally high-grade stone - less expensive than its well-know Spanish counterpart, Crema Marfil, but sharing the same luxurious character. Crema Marble has a cosmopolitan appeal with subtle dappling and light veining. These tiles are carefully calibrated and gauged for perfect installation. They are also smoothly polished and precisely beveled to show off their beauty. Tile sizes 12"x12" and 18"x18" available in pallet quantities (pallet shipments available in November): US$3.42 sq. ft. - US$4.30 sq. ft. f.o.b. Virginia. Containers orders for tile sizes 12"x12", 16"x16", 18"x18", 24"x24", US$2.13 sq. ft. - US$3.84 sq. ft. f.o.b. Turkey.
