Hi twcarpenter

I cannot speak for the patterned tile in the middle as I cannot see it clearly but the white tile on the wall with the Gold, is Calacatta Gold.

It looks like a 6x12" but could be 3x6" Calacatta Gold. This is a difficult product to work with. It has large variations. Look up what a slab of Calacatta looks like (then imagine that cut up). It can have large sections of complete white then tiles with some veining. You have to over order, you have to lay out prior to install. Essentially you are creating a picture that only you know what you want it to look like.

Expect there to be waste. Buying from a retailer you can expect to be paying $50 to $80 a Square Foot the cost is "Astronomical". (Assuming you can even get it, it is highly sought after product where the demand is greater than the supply). I would still start with retailers, it is a good place to get design ideas. Then when you are ready order some samples online and perhaps the 6x12" Calacatta Gold for $17.95 a Square Foot in Honed or Polished works for you and your design plans.

We stock one of the largest collections of Calacatta Gold in the USA, but even with that you should request pictures prior to shipping. We want to work with you. Then what is shipped to you is what you are expecting. No surprises (for either of us).

This is an example of picture before shipping. A customer ordered 90 Square Feet of 2x4" Calacatta Gold Honed $15.95 a Sq.Ft. and Free Shipping (price valid 2016). We take pictures of the exact product they will be receiving, from the exact same lot. For us this is perfect Calacatta Gold. Some Calacatta Gold is too busy, it looks "Crazy". Some has hardly any gold. The Calacatta Gold in this 2x4" picture has just the right balance.

Another option. This is 4x12" Carrara Venato Polished $8.00 a Square Foot. Some customers even with our pricing Calacatta Gold can be just too expensive. A great substitute is our Carrara Venato Collection. It has the exact same white base as Calacatta Gold, but with gray veining and some pieces of Calacatta in it creating a very white based product. Achieving a similar gold for the fraction of the cost.

Thank you so much for your thorough explanation of the tiles!

Most welcome, apologies for typos and bad grammar, not easy from a cell phone :)
