Colorado Stone Quarries has sponsored the 2024 Natural Stone Institute Stone of the Year. Calacatta Lincoln® marble will be featured on 2024 member certificates, membership pledges, and association marketing materials throughout the year.

Discovered in 2012 with the opening of a new portal—the Lincoln® Gallery—located above the old Colorado Yule marble mine, Calacatta Lincoln® marble has an elegant and delicate veining with a warm white background. Its unique vein structure sets it apart from other marbles and creates a look that is both modern and timeless. Calacatta Lincoln® is the perfect choice for large projects, such as kitchen countertops and flooring. Its durability and exquisite veining make it a stone that will stand the test of time.
