A:  This marble origin is Italy. There is a cheaper version out there that looks like this but it will carry yellow cast to it. Make sure to check the full name when purchasing. Side note. If purchasing make sure to get 1 extra box. Once you start putting them up there is only one direction they can lay due to the herringbone design. I absolutely love mine.
