The Origin and History of Lasa White Marble from Italy

 


Lasa White Marble – a name that resonates with purity, elegance, and timeless charm. This stunning Italian marble has been admired by architects, sculptors, and designers around the world for centuries. At Shree Ram Stones (SRS), we’re proud to share the story behind this legendary stone and offer you access to one of the finest white marbles the Earth has ever produced.


🌍 The Geographic Origin of Lasa White Marble

Lasa White Marble, also known as Laas Marble, originates from Laas (Lasa) in the South Tyrol region of Northern Italy. Nestled in the heart of the Italian Alps, the marble is quarried from the high-altitude mountains of the Vinschgau Valley. Its location makes quarrying a challenging yet rewarding task, offering blocks with unmatched whiteness and minimal veining.

This Alpine origin is what gives Lasa White its distinct crystalline texture, durability, and exceptional brightness—a quality rarely found in any other natural marble.


📜 A Rich Historical Legacy

Lasa White Marble dates back to Roman times. It was highly prized in the Roman Empire for its luminosity and strength, often used in temples, monuments, and sculptures. Unlike Carrara, which was used for Michelangelo's David, Lasa White was often reserved for imperial architecture and later gained fame across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, with advancements in quarrying and transportation, Lasa White became a staple in prestigious European buildings, including churches, parliament houses, luxury villas, and museums.

Its reputation grew rapidly, and it became known as “The Marble of the Mountains.”
