Dione Spider Marble Slab Natural White Marble with Spider Veins

This natural white marble sourced from quarries in Italy. It is characterized by a luminous white to off-white background, intersected by a dynamic network of brown and grey veining. The pattern ranges from fine, thread-like lines to broader, more concentrated flows, giving each slab a unique geological signature. A notable feature of this stone is its translucency, which allows for creative lighting applications.

• Natural Translucency: The stone's crystalline structure allows light to penetrate, making it suitable for backlit wall features and countertops.
• Jumbo Slab Availability: Offered in large-format slabs (up to 3200mm), ideal for minimizing seams on large surfaces and creating continuous book-matched installations.
• Low Water Absorption: Features a dense composition with low porosity, resulting in improved resistance to staining and simplifying routine maintenance.

The unique veining and translucent properties of Dione Spider Marble make it a versatile material for various interior applications where a strong visual statement is desired.

• Feature Walls & Cladding: The bold, graphic veining makes it an excellent choice for full-height feature walls. In book-matched applications, it can create a striking symmetrical effect.
• Backlit Panels & Countertops: When illuminated from behind, Dione Spider Marble produces a soft, diffused glow. This technique is highly effective for bar tops, reception desks, and bathroom vanity walls, adding a unique ambient light source to the space.
• Countertops & Islands: Suitable for kitchen and bath countertops, especially for islands where a single, large slab can create a seamless, high-impact surface. Proper sealing is required to protect the stone.

• Interior Flooring: Recommended for residential and light commercial flooring applications. Its polished surface reflects light and can help brighten spaces.
• High-Traffic Areas: In commercial lobbies or other high-traffic zones, a honed finish may be preferable to a polished one to better conceal wear over time.
• Outdoor Use: Due to its composition, this marble is not recommended for exterior applications in climates subject to freeze-thaw cycles.

To preserve the natural beauty of Dione Spider Marble, we recommend the following:

 

Cleaning: Clean spills immediately using a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners (e.g., vinegar, lemon juice, harsh chemicals).

Sealing: As a natural stone, it requires sealing to protect against staining. We recommend applying a high-quality impregnating sealer upon installation and re-sealing every 6-12 months, depending on the level of use.

Heat & Scratches: Always use trivets or mats under hot cookware and coasters under glasses. While durable, marble can be scratched; avoid dragging heavy or sharp objects across the surface.

Q: What is the primary characteristic of Dione Spider Marble?

A: Its most defining features are the high-contrast, spider-like brown veins on a white background and its natural translucency.

Q: How does Dione Spider compare to other white marbles like Calacatta or Carrara?

A: While all are Italian marbles, Dione Spider's veining is typically thinner and more networked, often in warmer brown tones, compared to the broader, grey veining of many Calacatta and Carrara varieties. Its translucency is also a more pronounced feature.

Q: What type of sealer is recommended?

A: An impregnating (penetrating) stone sealer is required. It should be applied after installation and re-applied periodically (typically every 6-12 months, depending on use) to protect against staining.

Q: Can I get slabs from the same block for my project?

A: Yes, for projects requiring consistent veining and color, we can supply consecutively cut slabs from the same block. Please specify this requirement when inquiring.
