Major Deposits of Grey-Veined and Pure White Marble Discovered
Rare discovery in the Hindu Kush mountain range could alleviate global shortages. |
Royal White (slab shown above) and Imperial White are two varieties of the new, high-grade marble in production at the quarry, by Cosmopolitan Marble. |
Cosmopolitan Marble has identified a previously unknown source of grey veined marble and some of some the whitest marble ever found. After extensive geological exploration and testing, Cosmopolitan’s team of experts has started quarrying a sumptuous grey-veined marble named Royal White which is currently in production.
Also, an exceptionally high-quality pure white marble named Imperial White was discovered. The subtler but equally sumptuous grey-veined Royal White marble is currently in production at the quarry.
Relief for Global Shortages of White Marble?
Pure white marble has been in short supply in recent years because of extremely high demand. Cosmopolitan set out to find alternative sources, and the resulting discovery has excited experts across the industry.
“Due to the popularity of white marble in North America and across the world, slab suppliers and fabricators have needed an additional source of high quality white marble for years,” says Jon Lancto, a former fabricator and current vice president of the Marble Institute of America, and Business Development Manager for Cosmopolitan Marble. “I think consumers will be thrilled when they see this material.”
Ready to Supply
The deposits of Royal Imperial White and Royal White were discovered in a remote alpine area in the foothills of the Hindu Kush mountain range. “We are delighted by the discovery of a grey veined white marble and of such a pure high quality pure white marble,” says David Thompson, Chief Operating Officer for Cosmopolitan Marble. “Our first containers with bundles will arrive in the U.S. by June or July, and we expect many more future shipments as our quarries continue to ramp up production.”
