Chemical & Physical Characteristics:

Bianco Ibiza is primarily composed of recrystallized calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) formed under heat and pressure. Its metamorphic structure gives it a refined crystalline texture and elegant surface clarity.

Key physical traits:

• Dense crystalline composition
• Naturally reflective surface (especially polished finish)
• Medium porosity (requires sealing)
• Acid-sensitive (etching may occur)
• High compressive strength but moderate scratch resistance

Its bright white base enhances light reflection, making spaces feel larger and more luxurious.
