Avalanche

Avalanche is a marble from Brazil with strong, swirling movement: bands of grey and taupe-brown curl through white areas, so each part of the slab looks different. Our inventory lists it in honed and polished finishes, 3 cm thick.. 

 Characteristics

  • Look: White, grey and taupe-brown swirls with darker edges along some of the curves; the pattern is busy rather than a quiet white marble.
  • Uses: Kitchen countertops and islands, vanity tops, accent walls and fireplace surrounds, where the movement can be seen as one piece.
  • Care: Marble is softer than granite, and acids such as lemon juice, vinegar and wine can etch a polished surface, so wipe spills promptly and keep it sealed; a honed finish shows etching less than a polished one.

    Avalanche questions

    Is Avalanche in stock as a full slab?

    Avalanche is sold as full slabs through our West Allis slab gallery near Milwaukee, where you can see the complete piece — and how the pattern runs across it — before you commit. Stock moves week to week, so check live inventory or call 414-998-0404 to confirm whether Avalanche is on the racks now.

    Does Avalanche need to be sealed?

    Yes, and with care. Avalanche is calcium carbonate, so acids such as lemon juice or vinegar can etch the surface even when sealed. A penetrating sealer reduces staining; many owners accept the patina that develops with use.

    What is Avalanche best used for?

    Bathroom vanities, fireplace surrounds, pastry and baking stations, and feature walls. In a heavily used kitchen, expect etching and patina.

    Can I buy Avalanche if I already have a fabricator?

    Yes. Come to the gallery, tag the marble slab you want, and your fabricator collects it. We also sell directly to fabricators, builders and remodelers across the Milwaukee area on wholesale terms.

    Avalanche in Kitchens and Bathrooms

    Three design visualizations showing how Avalanche reads at room scale: as a full-height kitchen backsplash, on a bathroom vanity, and on a waterfall-edge island. Each one was generated from the photograph of the actual slab on this page, so the natural stone pattern, colour and finish match the stone we stock in West Allis.
