More than 800 million years ago, this region was covered by an ancient, warm, shallow sea where a variety of marine organisms thrived. Over millions of years, the remains of these organisms and other carbonate-rich materials accumulated on the seafloor, forming extensive rock deposits.
As a result of major tectonic movements, these deposits were buried and subjected to high pressures and temperatures, slowly transforming the original rock into marble.
White Vitória was formed through this process. Quarried in the mountainous region near Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, in Espírito Santo, it features a uniform white background marked by subtle veining in shades of gray.
Its composition, rich in calcite and dolomite, contributes to its strong cohesion, ability to take a polish, and the luster that enhances its surfaces.
The result is a stone that combines visual purity, subtle movement, and a history spanning more than 800 million years, bringing to contemporary architecture a beauty that began to take shape in an ancient sea.
Finish: Polished, brushed, honed, sandblasted, and others.
Recommended applications: Countertops; low-traffic floors; tables; bathrooms outside the shower area and powder rooms; partitions; and works of art.
