Calacatta Lincoln
Last year, Short Hills Marble & Tile unveiled its Legacy of The Rockies Collection in collaboration with Colorado Stone Quarries in offering their Calacatta lines including the 2024 Stone of The Year – Calacatta Lincoln! (named by National Stone Institute)
“Calacatta Lincoln is a new type of Colorado Yule marble, discovered in 2012 with the opening of a new portal (the Lincoln Gallery) located above the old mine. With its elegant and delicate veining, Calacatta Lincoln has become a reference in the market and one of the most desirable marble, especially in the United States market This material has a warm white background with brown-grayish veining.
The vein structure ranges from medium to wide vein and is the hallmark of Calacatta Lincoln with a cutting direction that is either wavy or 45-degrees. It is the perfect choice for kitchen countertops and large projects.”

In addition to Calacatta Lincoln, Short Hills Marble & Tile also carries their Calacatta Golden. Calacatta Golden is famous for its pure white background with narrow and well-marked golden veins that run throughout the entire slab.
Calacatta Golden is a timeless classic white marble, extracted from the original historic galleries and the modern Lincoln Gallery. Due to its characteristics of beauty and durability, this stone was used on many historical projects such as the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., the Colorado State Capitol in Denver, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington, Virginia.
Most of the time, the Calacatta Golden blocks are produced with regular “wavy” movement and only occasionally are blocks mined with diagonal 45-degree veining.
