Valley White Select
Valley White Select is the statuary marble from Colorado. Pure white background of fine crystalline structure, the material is marked by thin pencil-line silver veining and/or light gold veins. Softer than most marbles, it is easy to carve and the stunning polish it can take enhances the sparkling of the tiny crystals and the character of the silver veining.
