Golden Black Marble: A Unique Natural Stone

Found in countries like Italy, Turkey, Greece, Pakistan, and Iran. Its durability and remarkable appearance make it a valuable option for interior designs.

Physical Characteristics 

Golden Black Marble features a dark brown to black base with intricate golden and white veins. These veins vary in intensity, ranging from subtle patterns to bold lines.
