White Lightning is a dramatic and striking type of marble, prized for its stark, high-contrast appearance. Unlike the soft, flowing veins of traditional marbles, White Lightning features a predominantly black or dark gray base, which is dramatically fractured by bold, jagged streaks of pure white. These sharp, lightning-like inclusions give the stone its distinctive name and create a powerful visual effect. A metamorphic rock composed primarily of recrystallized carbonate minerals, it is a testament to the intense geological pressures that transform limestone into this elegant material. Historically used in architectural and decorative applications, this unique marble has found a modern niche in jewelry, where its striking pattern makes each piece a one-of-a-kind work of art. White Lightning marble is a favorite among those who appreciate bold, graphic aesthetics and the raw, untamed beauty of natural stone.
