Description
Normally mined in Namibia, zebra Marble is especially valued for its distinctive and visually attractive ornamental potential. It is a popular flooring material for this reason, and it is in high demand among sculptors for its eye-catching pattern. When polished, its striations are thought to resemble a zebra's striping--hence its common name.

1.Color and Pattern: The best zebra Marble exhibits a striking black and white pattern that resembles zebra stripes.
2.Quality of Patterns: The stone should ideally have well-distributed, contrasting patterns that enhance its visual appeal.
3.Cut: zebra Marble is often cut into tumbled shapes or used in freeform designs to showcase its unique pattern. A well-cut stone enhances the beauty and value.
4.Size: Larger pieces of zebra Marble can be more desirable because they display the stone's characteristic pattern more boldly.
