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 Turkish port 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

- Start small — order a sample or a single-bundle trial before committing to full containers.

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, DAP and DDP under Incoterms 2020. We accept international bank transfer (SWIFT). Card payment via Stripe will be added soon. Payment details and schedule are stated on the proforma invoice.
