Leopard is a red marble quarried in Turkey, also traded as Aphrodite Pink, Roalte Afrodit or Salome. Its white to pale background is crossed by red and yellow veins, knots and clouded zones, giving each slab a lively, spotted appearance that inspired the name. The medium-grained calcite structure lends the stone a warm, decorative character suited to feature walls, flooring, bathroom cladding, staircases and interior design details. Polished and honed finishes enhance its colour contrasts, while brushed or leathered surfaces suit more tactile projects. Marmi di Carrara supplies Leopard marble as blocks, slabs in 2 and 3 cm thicknesses and cut-to-size pieces, with photos of the actual slabs sent before purchase.
