    It looks like white carrera or statuary white marble on the vanity top. Carrera basket weave pattern on the floor, and looks like absolute black or galaxy black granite tile around the perimeter.

    Thanks so much. Do you know if "Classic White Granite" is a good alternative to a marble counter? In the photos I've seen, it would seem so, but you never know once you actually put it to application.

    The white part of the floor is a Carrara marble and a high 'C' grade, like in the picture attached. Most companies 95% sell the 'CD' grade which is a darker gray and veining is not very clear, we have put two 12x12" pieces of this on top of 12x24" premium 'C' grade.

    The black border I believe is a Nero Marquina. It may be an absolute black granite. But considering the trouble they have gone to get premium Carrara, it makes sense to get premium black marble.

    Most companies sell a 'China Black' which is covered in white veins. We stock Nero Marquina from Spain. It looks like a 4x12, 2x12" and 1x12", most likely cut from 12x12".

    We offer, 12x12" in Nero Marquina, 4x12" in Nero and 2x12" in Nero Marquina all for $7.95SF: http://www.thebuilderdepot.com/blackstone-marble.html

    Then put a nice white based Basketweave, with Nero Marquina black dot, $10.95SF: http://www.thebuilderdepot.com/carrara-basketweave-mosaic-polished.html. The you have created the entire bathroom design with just two marble types. Nero Marquina and Carrara.
