North Macedonia · Marble
also known as Macedonia White Marble, Sivec Bianco, Macedonian White, Siwe Marble
Sivec White Marble is one of the most consistent and pure white marbles in Europe, quarried at Sivec near the Mariovo valley in North Macedonia. Its whiteness and low vein content rival Thassos and Makrana White, making it a preferred choice for projects requiring a very uniform white surface. Sivec has been actively quarried and exported for decades, primarily to EU, Middle Eastern, and US markets. North Macedonia is a significant stone exporter in the Western Balkans, with well-developed quarrying and processing infrastructure.
Type-level physical facts shown. Per-lot lab values (absorption, flexural strength) confirmed at quotation.
Both are very pure white European marbles. Thassos (Greek island) has a slightly translucent, crystalline quality prized for luxury bathrooms. Sivec (North Macedonia) tends to be more opaque and more consistent in tone with minimal veining, making it slightly more versatile for large-surface uniformity. Both are premium-grade white marbles.
Yes. North Macedonia has an established stone export sector and well-known quarrying companies. Sivec marble in particular has a strong international trade track record. EU import documentation is straightforward as North Macedonia has a trade agreement with the EU and is an EU candidate country.
