The Maison
Keturah was born from a conviction: that the spaces we inhabit shape how we feel, how we breathe, how we live. Before it became a name in stone, Keturah was a vision rooted in Dubai — designing residences where biology, wellness, and architecture converge to serve one thing: the human being.
Every material in a Keturah project is chosen for how it makes a person feel. When we searched for marble worthy of that standard, no supplier could guarantee the origin, the chain, or the soul of the stone. So we went to the mountain ourselves — to the Alpi Apuane of Tuscany and the cliffs of Portovenere in Liguria.
Keturah Stones exists because we believe natural materials carry something that engineered surfaces never will — millions of years of silence, pressure, and transformation. Stone is not decoration. It is the earth offering calm to those who choose to listen.
Today we supply our own developments and a private clientele of architects worldwide, by allocation only. There is no showroom. This is the only place where our stones appear.

Origin
We hold direct access to two extraction sites — one in the Apuan Alps of Tuscany for white and grey marbles, one near Portovenere in Liguria for the rare Portoro. Every slab can be traced to the exact block and the exact day it left the mountain.
Cava Coltelli
Alpi Apuane · Massa Carrara · Tuscany
The Carrara marble quarries have been mined since the Roman Empire, in the mountains of the Apuan Alps above the city of Carrara. This is where Michelangelo climbed in 1501 to hand-select the block for his David.
Our extraction site at Cava Coltelli supplies all the white and grey marbles in our collection. Each block is documented with a dimensional survey, density check, and photographic archive before it leaves the quarry face.

Monte Santa Croce
Near Portovenere · La Spezia · Liguria
Portoro is one of the most famous Italian black limestones, known for its characteristic golden-yellow veins on a deep black ground. It has been extracted near La Spezia since Roman times, when it was used in the ancient city of Luni.
Today only a handful of active Portoro quarries remain on earth. Our access to Monte Santa Croce gives us one of the last direct sources of this extraordinary stone — a black Jurassic limestone threaded with gold calcite formed over hundreds of millions of years.

The Collection
Each stone is selected one by one at the quarry face. Most of what we see, we leave behind. This is not a catalogue — it is an inventory of what the maison offers this year, and only this year.
All stones are available in multiple finishes — polished, honed, brushed, sandblasted, and aged. Custom formats and cuts are produced at our atelier in Massa Carrara.

Craftsmanship
No intermediary touches the stone. From the quarry face to the finished slab, the chain of custody is ours. Each piece is extracted with precision, transported under controlled conditions, and finished by hand at our atelier in Massa Carrara.
At first light, a quarry chief walks the front. Blocks are chosen one by one. Most of what he sees, he leaves behind.
Dimensional survey, density check, photographic archive. A passport follows each block from the wall to the atelier.
Primary cutting in Massa Carrara. The diamond wire advances at a rhythm the cutter adjusts by ear. A single cut takes a day, sometimes two.
Polished, honed, brushed, sandblasted, or aged. The edge profile is drawn before cutting begins. Each finish requires its own week.
Individual felt-lined crates. Chain of custody maintained from Livorno to the architect. A site chief attends every installation.
