Short Summary:
Türkiye is more than just a marble producer—it’s a geological paradise. Dive into its ancient stone heritage and the rare marbles that inspire the world’s top designers.
The Land Where Marble Breathes History
Türkiye’s landscape is a living museum of geological artistry. With over 80 marble varieties and thousands of active quarries, Anatolia’s underground wealth has shaped civilizations for millennia.
From the pristine Afyon White used in palaces to the dramatic Elazığ Cherry and mystical Baygara Black, Turkish marble blends color, texture, and timeless elegance.
Geological Diversity Across Regions

Afyonkarahisar: Renowned for its white, sugar-like crystal marble.
-
Burdur: Home to soft beige tones with delicate veining.
-
Elazığ: Source of the vibrant Lilac and Cherry marbles.
-
Muğla: Known for its classic white marbles.

Balıkesir & Marmara Island: Famous for gray striated and wavy patterns.
