Lasa & Göflan Marble
Lasa & Göflan Premium South Tyrolean Marble
Lasa and Göflan marble are among the purest and densest marbles in Europe. Quarried high above the Vinschgau valley in South Tyrol, the stone is distinguished by its brilliantly pure white and an especially fine, even veining – prized for centuries for prestigious architecture and high-quality sculpture. At CAMT you can source this exclusive natural stone directly from the South Tyrolean quarries – as a raw slab, cut to size, or fully finished for your project.
Properties of Lasa & Göflan Marble
What sets Lasa and Göflan marble apart from other marbles is its exceptional density and purity: fewer pores and a more uniform crystal structure give it greater resistance to weathering than many other marbles – one reason the stone is also used for exterior facades and monuments.
Like any marble, however, it remains acid-sensitive and requires regular care. Due to the limited extraction volume and the demanding high-mountain quarrying, this marble is among the most exclusive natural stones in our range. We're happy to advise you personally at the CAMT showroom in Riesa on availability and application options.

Surfaces – For Pure Elegance.
The surface finish determines the look, feel and slip resistance of your Lasa marble – we'll advise you on the right choice for your project:
- Polished – High-gloss, emphasises the pure white and fine veining.
- Honed (matte) – Silky-matte and more slip-resistant, ideal for heavily used surfaces.
- Sculpture block – Untreated raw blocks for stone carving and custom work.
- Flamed – Slip-resistant texture for outdoor stairs and terraces.
Care – How the Marble Stays Beautiful.
Like all marble, Lasa and Göflan marble are calcareous natural stones and are sensitive to acids. With the right care, however, the characteristic white will remain for generations:
- Clean only with pH-neutral cleaners specifically suited to natural stone.
- Regular sealing protects against stains and preserves the pure white.
- Wipe up spilled acids promptly to avoid dulling the surface.
- Use trivets for hot pots and avoid abrasive cleaning agents.
