Mixing Light and Dark Marbles

The Washington Monument was built between 1848 and 1884, with a 30 year hiatus due to funding issues. This American structure was created from a marble quarry in Texas, Maryland and another in Baltimore, Maryland. Because the marble used came from two different quarries, the structure was built with a mixture of light and dark marble. You can replicate this look by using our Naxos marble in your decor.
