Branco DO Mar is a white limestone quarried in Portugal, appreciated for its pale, uniform background and fine, subtle grain with faint shell traces and delicate veining. Its soft beige-white tone brings light to façades, flooring, cladding and interior details, in both classical and contemporary architecture. The stone accepts a wide range of finishes: polished and honed for interiors, brushed, sandblasted or bush-hammered for outdoor paving and stairs. Also traded under names such as Rosal and Moleanos BM, it is a versatile Portuguese limestone for large projects. Marmi di Carrara supplies Branco DO Mar as blocks, slabs 2 and 3 cm and cut-to-size pieces, with photos of the actual slabs before purchase.
