Lot 15728

The Extra register.

Quarried in the Apuan Alps near Carrara — the Borghini family's top selection, sawn and finished at 2cm honed.

Calacatta Borghini is the name most people picture when they hear “Italian marble” — a bright white field crossed by bold gray and gold veining, the slab the kitchen and the bath are built around. Extra is the top of that selection: the whitest ground, the cleanest contrast, the most confident movement across the field. It is the register the Borghini reputation is built on.

On Lot 15728 the white stays luminous and committed, and the veining runs bold and painterly at full scale — long gray strokes warmed with threads of gold. Honed keeps the surface quiet: the contrast reads graphic rather than glossy, and the slab forgives the small etching that working marble picks up over the years.

At 78″ × 120″ and 45 slabs deep, this is the rare Calacatta lot sized for whole rooms — multi-slab kitchens, bookmatched feature walls, full bath compositions cut from a single, consistent block run. Pair it with rift-cut oak, unlacquered brass or a quieter stone elsewhere in the house, and let the field do the work.

One Finish · Honed

Honed,
to keep the field luminous.

Lot 15728 ships honed. The matte surface keeps the white field quiet and lets the veining read as color drawn into the stone rather than reflection laid on top of it. Honed also forgives the small etching that comes with a working kitchen island — the patina reads as material character, not wear.

The right surface for islands, full-height bath walls, perimeter counters, and fireplace surrounds where the slab is the room.

Luminous, matte, graphic

Honing softens the field and keeps the Extra register honest — no mirror, no glare, the veins read as color drawn into the stone rather than reflection laid on top of it. The surface sits comfortably under pendant lighting and against plaster or oak.

Common Questions

Questions,answered.

What is Calacatta Borghini Extra?
Calacatta Borghini Extra is the top register of the Calacatta Borghini family — the whitest ground, the cleanest contrast, and the boldest gray-and-gold veining the quarry produces. It is the slab the Calacatta reputation is built on, and the register designers ask for by name.
How many slabs are in Lot 15728?
Royal Stone currently holds 45 slabs of 2cm honed Calacatta Borghini Extra at 78" × 120" — enough for multi-slab kitchens, bookmatched walls, and whole-house compositions cut from a single, consistent lot.
How is Borghini Extra different from Calacatta Borghini Gold?
Same Apuan Alps ground, different register. Borghini Gold pulls the vein warm — amber, ochre, honey across the field. Extra keeps the classic Borghini read: a luminous white ground with bold gray veining threaded with gold, selected for the whitest and cleanest material in the run.
Is honed Calacatta Borghini good for kitchen countertops?
Honed is the most forgiving Calacatta finish in a working kitchen. The matte surface softens everyday etching and lets the field read luminous rather than glossy. Most designers and homeowners accept the lived-in patina as part of the material; sealing buys time on spills. For a maintenance-free alternative with similar visual character, see Taj Mahal quartzite.
Can Lot 15728 be bookmatched?
Yes — with 45 slabs from a single lot, bookmatched pairs and multi-slab matched runs are available across the shipment. Bring the drawings and we will lay the options out on the floor for you.
How do I see Lot 15728 in person?
Royal Stone is at 2303 South Sepulveda Boulevard, West Los Angeles. Designers and private clients are welcome by appointment Monday through Friday. Call (310) 477-3223 or send a note through the contact page and we will pull the slab for you.

Walk Lot 15728,
in daylight.

Extra reads differently in person than it does in any photograph — the field is brighter, the veining more confident, the scale more generous. Forty-five slabs deep, the lot rewards a walk. We’d rather pull it and walk you through it than describe it from a photo.
