also known as Queen's White, Ziarat Marble, Balochistan White
Among the whitest marbles quarried anywhere on earth. Ziarat marble is a dolomitic metamorphic limestone from the mountains of Balochistan, Pakistan, with a purity that rivals or exceeds premium Carrara. Its defining characteristic is the near-absence of veining or inclusions: a flat, blinding white surface. Increasingly specified in the Gulf, the USA and East Asia as an ultra-white alternative to Italian marbles at competitive prices.

Top grades of Ziarat White are considered by industry experts to be among the whitest commercial marbles available, lacking the subtle warm or grey tone many other whites carry. Consistency varies by block and grade; inspect samples carefully.
