Afyon White
Afyon Şeker · Afyonkarahisar
Crystalline, almost sugar.
Known at the quarry as Afyon Şeker — "Afyon sugar" — for the saccharoidal grain that recalls Statuario. A bright white ground, barely-there veining, and good translucency at thin gauges. This is what we put forward when a project needs a clean white and Carrara availability will not carry the square metres.
Typical uses
Sculpture, backlit cladding, bathrooms, high-specification detailing.
