3.8" Polished Zebra Marble Heart - Utah

About Zebra Marble

Zebra marble from Utah is a striking ornamental stone named for its bold, naturally occurring black-and-white banding that resembles the pattern of a zebra’s coat. This distinctive marble is primarily composed of metamorphosed limestone rich in calcite, which gives the stone its smooth texture and excellent ability to take a high polish. The contrasting dark bands are typically formed by carbon-rich layers or mineral impurities that were folded, compressed, or recrystallized during the region’s ancient tectonic activity. The result is a dramatic, high-contrast stone with rhythmic stripes, swirls, and flowing patterns unique to each piece. Found in select deposits across Utah’s rugged canyon country, zebra marble has become a favorite material for carvings, spheres, cabochons, and decorative objects.
