PRODUCT TITLE

Tuscan Calacatta Gold 12" x 12" Marble Penny Round Mosaic (3/8" Thick)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Bring a touch of the Italian countryside to your home with the Tuscan Calacatta Gold Penny Round Mosaic. This premium stone is a more "honeyed" version of the classic Calacatta. It features a rich, milky-white background infused with soft grey ribbons and the signature, rare strokes of amber and ochre gold that give the "Tuscan" variety its name.

The Penny Round format (approx. 3/4" circles) offers a soft, organic texture that breaks up the rigid lines of modern cabinetry and plumbing fixtures. At a substantial 3/8" thickness, these pennies are more durable and provide a more "stately" feel underfoot than thinner, budget-grade marble mosaics. Mounted on a 12" x 12" mesh, these sheets interlock to create a seamless, flowing field of stone.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between "Tuscan" Calacatta and regular Calacatta Gold? "Tuscan" is a design designation indicating a higher concentration of gold and beige tones. While standard Calacatta Gold focuses on the white/grey contrast, the Tuscan selection is curated for those who want to highlight the warmer, honey-colored veins.

Will the circles align perfectly? Yes. These are "interlocking" sheets. When you lay them down, the pennies on the edge of one sheet fit into the gaps of the next, making the 12x12 grid disappear completely once grouted.

What grout color do you recommend? To highlight the gold tones, use a warm-neutral grout like "Warm Grey" or "Frost." To keep it looking bright and airy, a crisp "Bright White" is the classic choice.

INSTALLATION & CARE TIPS

• White Thinset is Required: To maintain the warmth of the Tuscan Gold, you must use a white polymer-modified thinset. Gray adhesive will turn the cream tones into a muddy grey.

• Sealing: Natural marble is porous. Apply a high-quality penetrating sealer before you grout (to act as a grout release) and after the grout has cured.

• Layout: Because Calacatta Gold varies from stone to stone, "dry-lay" your sheets before thinsetting to ensure the gold-heavy pennies are distributed evenly.

• Maintenance: Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid vinegar, bleach, or lemon-based products, as they will etch the marble surface.
