Turkish marble basins and best-known selections
Turkish marble is not one product but several distinct quarry basins, each with its own colour family. Knowing the basin tells you what to expect from the block:
- Afyon — Afyon White and Afyon Violet: fine-grained whites prized for bathrooms, vanities and sculpture-grade work.
- Muğla — Muğla White: bright, consistent white with subtle grey veining, a workhorse for large flooring and facade packages.
- Burdur — Burdur Beige: warm, uniform beige that polishes to a hotel-lobby finish; among the most exported Turkish beiges.
- Elazığ — Elazığ Cherry (Rosso Levanto type): deep red with white veins for statement walls and countertops.
- Toros mountains — Toros Black: dense black marble, striking when book-matched.
- Related translucent stone lives in our onyx section; the full range of slabs, tiles and blocks is under marble and the wider natural stone catalog.
Formats and finishes
- Slabs — 2 cm and 3 cm, polished or honed, typical sizes up to roughly 280×160 cm for countertops, stairs and book-match walls.
- Tiles — 30×30, 30×60, 60×60 cm and project-specific cut-to-size; calibrated and bevelled for fast installation.
- Blocks — quarry blocks for buyers with their own gang saws.
- Finishes — polished, honed, brushed, leathered, bush-hammered and tumbled; exterior paving normally ships honed or bush-hammered for slip resistance, facades brushed or honed, interiors polished.
Container maths and Incoterms for marble
Marble is denser than travertine (about 2.7 t/m³), so tonnage — not volume — fills the box. A 2 cm slab weighs roughly 55 kg/m²: a 20ft container carries 26–27 tonnes, which works out to roughly 450–500 m² of 2 cm material or 7–9 slab bundles on steel A-frames. Tiles travel strapped and shrink-wrapped on fumigated pallets. Terms are your choice: FOB Izmir / Mersin if your forwarder books the ocean leg, CIF destination port if we arrange freight and insurance, or DDP delivered to your warehouse with duties paid.
Export documents and a safe first order
- HS codes stated up front — worked marble slabs and tiles ship under 6802.21, raw blocks under 2515; the code is on every quotation so your duty rate is known before you commit.
- Document set — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and fumigation certificate for wooden packing, sent to you or your broker before arrival.
- Start small — order a sample or a single-bundle trial before committing to full containers.
- Market guides — see our import guides for the USA, the UK and the EU, or request a quote with your specification list.

Marble Wholesale for Importers & Distributors
We supply wholesale marble to importers, distributors, fabricators and project contractors worldwide. As a Turkish marble exporter working directly with quarries in the Marmara and Afyon regions, we offer white marble (including Marmara White), Emperador Light, black and colored varieties from our marble collection — as blocks, polished slabs and cut-to-size tiles.
Export packaging and container loading: slabs travel on steel A-frames or in reinforced bundles, tiles in ISPM-15 fumigated wooden crates with foam and corner protection — packaging engineered for marble export, not generic freight. A 20ft container typically loads 24–27 tonnes; we also build mixed containers combining marble with travertine or limestone. Request a container-load quotation, or compare materials first in our travertine vs marble guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Popular options include Marmara White, Mugla White, Afyon White and Sugar, Bursa Beige and Emperador-type brown marbles, alongside travertine and limestone. We can match a specific colour or vein pattern from active quarries.
All three. We supply quarry blocks, gangsaw and cut-to-size slabs in 2 cm and 3 cm thickness, and calibrated tiles with polished, honed, brushed or tumbled finishes to your specification.
Orders typically start at one 20-foot container, about 20 to 22 tons. Full-container and mixed-container loads are both available, and the MOQ is confirmed per product in your quotation.
Marble is a natural material, so lots vary. We produce from the same block or quarry lot where possible, send pre-shipment photos, and keep control samples so what you approve is what ships.
We work with EXW, FOB, CIF and DAP under Incoterms 2020. Payment is usually a bank wire, T/T, as an advance plus balance, or a letter of credit; card payment through iyzico is available for samples and smaller amounts.
