For instance, I love this Calacatta Viola marble, although I have not seen it in person. Descriptions say it has “deep purple or maroon veining,” but to me it just looks black & white.
What do you think? I like the idea of black and white marble counters, b/c in our bathroom we have Negro Marquina marble counters, so the kitchen counters would be the inverse (I don’t want dark/black counters in the kitchen b/c of how much they show crumbs and streaks).

Yes I know marble isn’t as hard as granite or quartzite. I know it’s prone to etching and staining. We have laminate counters now and are used to using trivets and cutting boards already. Calacatta Viola is one of the more stain-resistant marbles when sealed. Homes and shops in Italy have had marble counters for hundreds of years and they just “patina.” The heart wants what it wants (but the heart also has to stay within budget so it’s a moot point). #KitchenRemodel #KitchenDesign
