Island Life Part 1:

The Marble Quarry in Romblon

Philippines.

The Marble Quarry in Romblon stands as a testament to the island’s rich geological heritage and its skilled artisans. Romblon is often referred to as the “Marble Capital of the Philippines” due to its globally renowned high-quality marble, comparable to that of Italy’s Carrara. Extracted from the heart of the island’s mountains, this marble has been shaped by local craftsmen into a myriad of masterpieces, from intricate sculptures to functional home designs. The quarry itself offers a unique landscape, with massive blocks of raw marble juxtaposed against the lush green of the tropics, making it not only an industrial hub but also a fascinating sight for visitors.

The Philippines is one of the world’s largest producers of marble. The country has more than a hundred types of marble, which makes it a mecca for lovers of this type of stone. Romblon is one among the many regions in the Philippines that produces marble and its popularity cannot be denied because many famous buildings have used its beautiful marbles.

Why Romblon is Known for Marbles

Romblon is a marble haven in the Philippines. It’s the only province in the country that has marble deposits, and it produces 80% of all marbles in the Philippines. The province’s economy depends heavily on its marble industry: many people work in quarries or factories making tiles, sinks and countertops out of these precious stones. Romblon has been known as “the land of marbles” ever since Spaniards started mining here centuries ago.
