This is the "Untamed Botanical" of the collection. While the standard Daisy Bloom offers a structured, symmetrical floral arrangement, the Daisy Wild Calacatta Gold 12.75x13.25 Mosaic introduces a more fluid, sprawling energy. It is the premier choice for a "Modern Organic" or "High-End Coastal" aesthetic, prioritizing a larger-scale petal silhouette and the iconic honey-gold veining to create a surface that feels like a field of wildflowers caught in motion.

PRODUCT TITLE

Heritage Series: Calacatta Gold "Daisy Wild" 12.75" x 13.25" Polished Marble Mosaic

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Invite a sense of natural movement into your space with the Calacatta Gold Daisy Wild. Sourced from the legendary quarries of Italy, this mosaic is a sophisticated evolution of floral stone design. Unlike tight, repetitive patterns, the "Wild" iteration features slightly more elongated, sweeping petal shapes that interlock to form a continuous, ethereal canopy.

The 12.75" x 13.25" format serves as the perfect canvas for Calacatta’s world-famous mineralogy. The creamy-white field is accented by bold strokes of amber, gold, and smoky charcoal that follow the organic curves of the petals. The high-polished finish adds a liquid-like depth, reflecting light off the rounded edges to make your walls or shower floors appear to dance. Whether used as an art-piece backsplash or a luxurious walk-in shower floor, it brings an air of handcrafted, "wild" elegance to the home.

KEY FEATURES

• Sweeping "Wild" Geometry: Features an elongated floral pattern that offers a more modern and less "uniform" look than standard circular mosaics.

• Premium Italian Calacatta Gold: Characterized by a warm-white base and sought-after gold and honey-toned veining that emphasizes the organic petal shapes.

• Seamless Botanical Tapestry: The interlocking "puzzle-cut" edges are engineered to hide sheet boundaries, creating a monolithic, wallpaper-like appearance.

• Superior Natural Traction: The abundance of curved grout lines provides exceptional grip for wet areas, making it as functional as it is breathtaking.

• Luminous Mirror-Polish: A high-gloss finish that amplifies the stone's natural translucency and makes maintenance in kitchens and baths effortless.

SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL: Calacatta Gold is a high-purity, translucent natural stone. You must use a High-Quality Polymer-Modified White Thin-set. Gray mortar will bleed into the white field, permanently "shadowing" the petals and turning your golden garden into a dull, muddy grey.

Manufacturer Recommendations:

• Recommended Grout: Use a Non-Sanded Grout in "Warm Sand" or "Vanilla." These tones complement the gold veining and allow the "wild" floral shapes to blend harmoniously.

• Sealing Requirement: Apply a high-quality solvent-based penetrating sealer before and after grouting. This is essential to prevent the delicate "points" of the petals from absorbing grout pigments.

• Trowel Selection: Use a 3/16" x 1/4" V-notch trowel. Because of the irregular petal shapes, ensuring 100% thin-set coverage is vital to prevent hollow spots.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• How does "Wild" differ from the standard "Bloom"? The "Wild" pattern has a more elongated, "leaf-like" petal structure that creates a larger, more open floral aesthetic compared to the tighter circles of the Bloom pattern.

• Is it safe for a shower floor? Absolutely. The intricate web of grout lines makes it one of the safest high-end marble choices for wet-area flooring.

• Does it have a lot of gold? As a natural stone, variation is high. Some sheets will feature more grey, while others will have the distinct honey-gold movement. Shuffling boxes is key to a balanced look.

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

• The "Floating" Layout: Before thin-setting, dry-lay your sheets. Because the "Wild" pattern is so organic, you want to ensure the veining "flows" in a consistent direction across the room.

• Invisible Seams: When pressing sheets into the mortar, "nest" them tightly. Ensure the spacing between sheets is identical to the spacing between the individual petals on the sheet to eliminate visible grid lines.

• Microfiber Buffing: Once the grout is dry, buff the entire surface with a dry microfiber cloth. This removes the microscopic haze and restores the mirror-like brilliance of the Calacatta Gold.
