About Afyon White
Afyon White is a high‑quality marble from Turkey, characterized by a bright white background pierced by subtle yellow veins. The stone displays a granoblastic, sometimes polygonal grain that gives it a uniform yet lively appearance. Its fine texture and low quartz content make it ideal for polished surfaces in residential and commercial interiors, such as flooring, wall cladding, countertops, and bathroom vanities. Afyon White works equally well in honed or brushed finishes for a softer look. Marmi di Carrara supplies Afyon White in 2‑3 cm thick blocks and slabs, offering cut‑to‑size options and providing real‑time photos of the actual slabs before purchase.
Afyon White consists of calcite crystals with a granoblastic and locally polygonal texture, containing occasional yellow veins, minor sericite, and very little quartz.

Finishes for Afyon 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.
Brushed
Worked with abrasive brushes for a slightly undulating, silky surface that follows the grain of the stone. Warm to the touch and easy to live with.
Sandblasted
A fine, even roughness obtained with a jet of sand. Lightens the colour and gives grip: used for exteriors, steps and pool surrounds.
Bush-hammered
A rough, pitted surface made with a toothed hammer. Maximum slip resistance for exterior paving, ramps and steps.
Care and maintenance
- Clean with water and a neutral detergent made for natural stone; rinse and dry.
- Avoid acids and descalers (vinegar, lemon, anti-limescale sprays): they etch calcite and dull a polished surface.
- Seal with an impregnating protector after laying and repeat when water no longer beads, typically every 1–3 years on tops.
- Wipe wine, coffee, oil and citrus juice straight away, especially on kitchen and vanity tops.
- A dulled or scratched surface can be re-honed or re-polished on site: the stone is the same through its whole thickness.
