About Kashmir White
Kashmir White is an elegant Indian granite widely specified for both architectural and interior applications. Originating from the quarries of India, this stone presents a predominantly white background, often accented with subtle grey or black mineral speckles. Its fine to medium grain structure provides a consistent, sophisticated texture suitable for demanding design projects. This versatile material is ideal for countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and vanity tops. It performs exceptionally well with polished, honed, or brushed finishes, enhancing its natural luminosity. At Marmi di Carrara, we supply Kashmir White through our extensive network, offering high-quality blocks and precision-cut slabs in 2 cm and 3 cm thicknesses. We also provide cut-to-size solutions tailored to your specifications. Every order includes detailed photos of the actual slabs before purchase, ensuring complete transparency and helping architects and designers make informed choices for their projects.
This is a white granite, typically characterized by a fine to medium grain and a dominant white matrix.

Finishes for Kashmir White
Polished
Mirror-like gloss that brings out colour and veining at full depth. The classic choice for walls, tops and interior floors; slippery when wet.
Honed
Smooth and matt, with a soft satin look. Hides small scratches and etching better than a polish and is safer underfoot.
Leathered
A brushed texture on hard stones: matt, lightly textured and very good at hiding fingerprints and water marks on worktops.
Bush-hammered
A rough, pitted surface made with a toothed hammer. Maximum slip resistance for exterior paving, ramps and steps.
Flamed
A thermal finish that makes the crystals burst and leaves a rough, non-slip surface. The standard for exterior granite.
Care and maintenance
- Clean with water and a neutral detergent; hard stones tolerate everyday use very well.
- Sealing is quick and recommended on light colours and on honed, leathered or flamed finishes.
- Avoid waxes and film-forming products that leave a layer on the surface.
- Outdoors, an occasional wash with a pressure cleaner at moderate pressure restores the colour.
- Hot pans, knives and frost are not a problem for most stones of this family; use trivets anyway to protect sealers.
