Calacatta Borghini marble owes its name to Paolo Borghini, a member of the Borghini family holding the quarry since 1979. The slabs of Borghini marble come from the Borghini quarry. The quarry is situated at the centre of the Apuan Alps near the town of Torano in the Carrara area. Today, it is the number one natural stone worktop material in the world. Moreover, it is prevalent in high-end restaurants, hotels, and now in residential homes.
The Calacata Borghini stone is believed to be the “authentic” Calacatta Italian Stone. Moreover, it is the only white marble offering oxidized veins that provide its distinct hue and veining.

Calacatta Borghini marble is a sedimentary carbonate rock. It comprises calcite (CaCO3), or a mixture of dolomite (Ca, Mg) and calcite. Originally it was limestone which transformed into marble over time.
The limestone rocks become marble thanks to the natural processes affecting them over millennia. Moreover, the term 'marble' comes from the old Greek word "Marmaris," meaning "shiny stone", describing the metamorphosis from limestone to marble.

Yes. Calacatta Borghini marble is porous like any natural stone due to its surface's micro-permeable nature. When a stone is porous, it can absorb liquids through micropores and its interfacial texture. You can seal Calacatta Borghini marble with an inexpensive stone sealant by spreading the transparent liquid over the surface and letting it rest for a minimum of 12 hours. Repeat this process every 18-24 months, depending on how much traffic your marble surface receives.
Yes. If the chip or scratch in your marble worktop is over 5 mm deep, this part of the worktop becomes more susceptible to discolouration. You can repair chips on marble worktops by applying colour-matched stone resin, restoring the non-porosity in this area. A professional worktop installer may also buff the top layer of the stone to remove superficial scratches, restoring the original shine of the marble's surface.
