Half-white Marble of Naxos
The semi-white selection of Krystallina Naxos retains the same crystalline texture as the white, on a milder and warmer base. Calcitic marble from Naxos, with visible natural shades and discreet veins. The difference from the white selection is in the tone of the base and not in the structure of the material.

What is the Half-White Marble of Naxos
The half-white selection of the Crystalline of Naxos comes from the same limestone deposit as the white, with a base that leans towards warmer tones. It is not an inferior quality but a different selection: the choice is made based on the shade, not the durability. It is the intermediate of the three selections we have, between the white and the gray.
Features
- Geological type: calcareous marble
- Origin: Naxos
- Commercial name: Crystalline of Naxos, half-white selection
- Color: half-white with a warmer base than the white selection
- Texture: crystalline, as in all selections of the deposit
- Shades: visible natural gradations and discreet veining
- Related selections: white and gray Crystalline of Naxos
Technical details
The published measurements for the Crystalline Naxos concern the deposit and apply to all three selections. The apparent specific gravity is 2.710 kg/m³ and the water absorption coefficient is 0.09 %wt. The complete data is available on the page of the white selection.
Where it is used
It is used in the same applications as the white selection, in floors, cladding, bathrooms, and stairs. Its warmer base works better with wooden elements and warm lighting, while in spaces with cool light, the difference from the white selection becomes less noticeable.
What affects the price
The half-white selection is usually more readily available than the white, which affects both the cost and the delivery time for large quantities. Beyond that, the thickness required by the application, the special cuts, and the finishing matter.
Maintenance
The warm base forgives more: stains from oil and small alterations over time are less visible than on the white selection. This does not negate the sensitivity to acids, which is common throughout the deposit. Waterproofing remains essential on work surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
When the space has wood, warm lighting or beige shades, the off-white ties in more easily. The pure white stands out more and requires greater attention to the overall palette.
Yes, and it is a common solution when the project requires a large quantity. Because they come from the same deposit, the texture is common and the transition seems natural. It is good to decide before the cutting which surfaces take which selection.
No. The sorting concerns the appearance, not the mechanical properties. The published measurements relate to the deposit as a whole.
