Makrana WhiteMarble
Permanence, purity and the highest expression of Indian stone craftsmanship
Material Story
Makrana White Marble is one of India's most historically significant natural stones. Quarried in Makrana, Rajasthan, it is internationally recognised for its purity, dense crystalline structure and exceptional architectural legacy.
The marble is famously associated with the Taj Mahal and has been used extensively in monuments, temples, sculptures and significant architectural works. Its compact, interlocking calcite structure contributes to its relatively low porosity, strength and durability.
For Ishatva, Makrana White represents permanence, purity and the highest expression of Indian stone craftsmanship.
Colour & Natural Variation
The primary palette ranges from pure white to ivory white and soft crystalline white. Depending on the variety, subtle grey, pink or greenish mineral streaks may occasionally occur. Variation is low for premium pure-white selections.
