Pacific Oyster Marble is a sophisticated sedimentary marble quarried in Indonesia, characterized by an ivory cream background adorned with flowy veins in shades of dark beige to light moka brown. Its name derives from the soft, ocean-inspired movement of its veining patterns, reminiscent of the layered textures of oyster shells.
