Blue in marble
True blue marble is rare. Blue De Savoie, from the French Alps, is a gray blue stone with long white and green bands. Palissandro Bluette has a softer, layered blue gray ground with sweeping lines that change with the cut. Azul Tropical and Sky Blue lean brighter, and Calacatta Turquoise puts turquoise veins on a white Calacatta ground.
Pattern and finish
Several blue marbles are banded, so the slab shows long stripes or a cloudier face depending on the direction it was cut. Most are polished, which deepens the blue, with a few honed. Slabs come at 3/4 inch for walls, vanities and fireplace surrounds and at 1 1/4 inch for countertops and islands.
Where blue marble is used
Blue marble is a feature stone: a powder room vanity, a bar, an island top or a fireplace. Against white or wood cabinets it reads as a calm color, and in a bathroom it pairs well with brass and nickel fixtures.
