2023 Stone of the Year: Namib Bianco
OBERLIN, Ohio – Namib Bianco marble from Best Cheer Stone Inc. is the 2023 Natural Stone Institute Stone of the Year.
The white marble from the Best Cheer quarry in Karibib, Namibia, offers a crystalline white background with subtle white and ivory-toned veins spread and embedded throughout the stone.
Namib Bianco is a translucent material, making it an ideal choice for creating backlit natural-stone projects. It also has a low water absorption rate and is higher in density compared to other white marbles, making it a good choice for home and commercial remodeling projects.
Namib Bianco marble will be featured on 2023 member certificates, membership code of ethics, and association marketing materials throughout the year.
