หินอ่อนคาราอิบิกาชนิดโปร่งแสง
ภาพรวมผลิตภัณฑ์ Translucent Calcite Caraibica Marble is a masterpiece of light and color. Geologically, it is a high-purity calcite marble sourced from rare deposits in Brazil. Its aesthetic captures the essence of a frozen glacier or clear tropical sky, featuring a mesmerizing palette of soft blues, azure, and crystalline white.
We are a direct stone manufacturer in China. While the raw blocks come from Brazil, all processing—from slab cutting to intricate carving—takes place in our state-of-the-art Chinese facility. This allows us to offer Translucent Calcite Caraibica not just as raw material, but as fully finished, high-value architectural products at competitive factory-direct prices.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย (FAQ)
Q1: Are you a factory or a trading company? We are a professional stone manufacturer based in China. We import raw blocks directly from Brazil and process them in our own facility. This ensures you get factory-direct pricing and strict quality control on finished products like vanities and columns.
Q2: Can you make custom marble vanities with drawers? Yes. We specialize in fabricating complete vanity units. We can cut the stone for the countertop, backsplash, and even the drawer fronts to match the vein flow (vein-matching).
Q3: Can I order stone moldings and door frames? Absolutely. We have specialized profiling machines to produce linear stone moldings, window sills, and door surrounds to your exact architectural drawings.
Q4: Is Calcite Caraibica suitable for carving sculptures? Yes. Its crystalline structure is excellent for carving. It allows light to pass through thinner carved sections, creating a beautiful glowing effect in sculptures and ornaments.
Q5: Do you ship worldwide? Yes. We export containers globally. For fragile finished products like vanities and sculptures, we use reinforced wooden crates with ample foam protection.
Q6: Is Calcite Caraibica the same as Onyx? No, but similar. It is a crystalline marble that is generally harder and available in larger sizes than Onyx.
Q7: Can I use it for a kitchen countertop? It is possible but requires care as it is soft. It is best used for vertical backlit features or bar tops.
Q8: Does it need to be backlit? Not necessarily, but backlighting unlocks its full potential and vibrancy.
Q9: Is book-matching available? Yes. We prioritize book-matched bundles for this material as it is almost exclusively used for feature walls.
Q10: What is the lead time? We stock raw blocks. Slab production takes 10-14 days. Complex carved products (columns, sculptures) take 20-30 days.
Q11: Can see a video of the slab backlit? Absolutely. Contact our sales team, and we will send you a high-definition video of the current stock with a light held behind it.
