Naxos Extra marble stands among the world’s most distinguished natural stones, quarried from the historic Island of Naxos in Greece’s Cyclades. This calcite-based white marble displays a striking crystalline structure with large, pronounced crystals that create a luminous, sophisticated appearance. The pure white to semi-white coloring and exceptional density make Naxos Extra marble a top choice for architects, designers, and homeowners seeking both beauty and durability in their projects.
The marble quarries of Naxos have supplied premium stone for over 2,500 years. Ancient Greeks used Naxian marble to construct some of history's most enduring monuments, including architectural elements of the Acropolis. The massive Portara, part of an unfinished temple to Apollo, still stands on Naxos today as proof of this marble's extraordinary longevity. Ancient sculptors favored Naxos marble for creating the famous kouros statues, those towering nude figures that defined early Greek sculpture. The Sphinx at Delphi and the lions of Delos were also carved from this exceptional stone. When you choose Naxos Extra marble, you're selecting a material that has proven its worth across millennia.
Naxos Extra marble excels in demanding applications thanks to its superior technical properties. The stone registers an extremely low moisture absorption rate of just 0.02%, making it highly resistant to water damage and staining. This characteristic makes Naxos Extra particularly well-suited for kitchen countertops, where spills and moisture are daily concerns. The marble's density and strength allow it to withstand the wear and tear of high-traffic areas without compromising its appearance.
For kitchen installations, Naxos Extra provides a clean, bright surface that enhances both modern and traditional design schemes. The large crystal structure catches and reflects light, creating depth and visual interest that solid-color materials simply cannot match. Bathroom vanities benefit from the same water-resistant properties, and the marble's natural elegance transforms ordinary bathrooms into spa-like retreats.
Beyond horizontal surfaces, Naxos Extra performs exceptionally as wall cladding for both interior and exterior applications. The stone's structural integrity supports large-format installations, creating seamless, dramatic walls in lobbies, living rooms, and commercial spaces. Flooring applications showcase the marble's durability, and the polished finish maintains its luster even in areas with moderate foot traffic. Fireplace surrounds, shower walls, backsplashes, and decorative accent walls all benefit from Naxos Extra's combination of strength and beauty.
The defining characteristic of Naxos Extra marble is its large crystalline structure. Unlike finer-grained marbles, Naxos displays distinct, substantial crystals that create a textured visual depth. Each slab tells a unique story through its crystal patterns, meaning no two installations are identical. The base color ranges from pure white to semi-white, sometimes showing subtle ash-colored zones that add character without overwhelming the stone's bright, clean appearance.
This marble works across multiple design styles. In modern minimalist spaces, the white tones and geometric crystal patterns complement clean lines and uncluttered aesthetics. Contemporary designs use Naxos Extra as a statement material, letting the stone's natural drama take center stage. Traditional and classic interiors benefit from the marble's historical pedigree and timeless elegance. The stone pairs beautifully with both warm and cool color palettes, metallic fixtures in gold or chrome, and natural materials like wood and leather.
The polished finish amplifies Naxos Extra's crystalline structure, creating a glossy surface that reflects light and opens up spaces. Honed finishes offer a softer, matte appearance while maintaining the stone's visual depth. The marble's neutral white tones make it exceptionally versatile for coordinating with other materials and colors in your design scheme.
Proper maintenance preserves the beauty of Naxos Extra marble for decades. Seal the stone upon installation and reseal annually to maintain stain resistance. For daily cleaning, use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically formulated for natural stone. Avoid acidic cleaners, including vinegar, lemon juice, and harsh chemicals that can etch the marble's polished surface. Wipe up spills immediately, particularly from wine, coffee, or citrus juices.
For countertops, use cutting boards and trivets to prevent scratches and heat damage. While Naxos Extra is remarkably durable, taking basic precautions extends its life and keeps it looking pristine. Clean with a soft cloth or microfiber mop rather than abrasive scrubbers. For stubborn stains, create a poultice using baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit for 24 hours before wiping clean.
