Fox Marble Holdings has announced the start of commercial extraction of Alexandrian Blue from our Prilep quarry in Northern Macedonia. Alexandrian Blue has dense blue grey banding with smaller bands of white which produce a marked blue tone and is akin to the highly desirable Zebrino marble from Northern Italy. The quarry, which is already producing the highly sought after white marble marketed as Alexandrian White, is now also producing substantial quantities of Alexandrian Blue from a newly developed section on the East side of the quarry.
