Georgia · Marble
also known as Caucasus White Marble, Tsavkisi Marble, Georgian White
Georgia (the Caucasus country) has marble deposits in its mountain regions, with the Tsavkisi area near Tbilisi being among the most accessible for export. Georgian marble has historically supplied the domestic and Russian markets. Following the expansion of stone trade through Turkey and the EU, Georgian white marble is gaining visibility as an alternative to Turkish and Greek whites. Block quality and consistency vary, so specified projects should request certified samples and quarry documentation.

It is still an emerging export stone for Western markets. Most production goes to Turkey, Russia and regional construction. European architects accessing Georgian marble typically do so through Turkish or Central Asian stone trading companies.
Turkish white marbles (Afyon White, Dolomite Classico) are more widely traded, better documented and have established EU export infrastructure. Georgian marble may offer cost advantages but requires more due diligence on supplier reliability and export logistics.
