As the epitome of elegance, status, and sophistication, Carrara (Luna) Marble was used in some of the most remarkable and timeless buildings in Ancient Rome.

The Pantheon and the Column of Marcus Aurelius are some of the structures built with Luna Marble that still stand tall today.

And it is to the Romans that Luna Marble owes its name, for what's modern-day Carrara, was then the region of Luna, named in honor of the Roman goddess of the moon.

Because of its purity, beauty, and resemblance with the moon, Luna Marble was the most desired natural stone by artists to create sculptures and masterpieces.

Some of the most famous ones coming from Michelangelo's hammer and chisel: David, Pietá, or Moses.

Extracted directly from the Apuan Alps in the province Massa-Carrara in Italy, it’s like a solid and pure piece of the Mediterranean that's guaranteed to add a touch of luxury and beauty to your home.

How To Care For Lune Marble

Unfortunately, most common and popular household cleaners like bleach, vinegar, ammonia, citrus cleaners, and hydrogen peroxide are too harsh for use on marble and will cause damage to the finish.

The only cleaning agents you should use on a regular basis are hot water and a specially formulated marble cleaner with a sponge or soft cloth.
