Tasso White Marble: A Rare Masterpiece, Eight Years in the Making
At an altitude of over 4,000 meters on the Pamir Plateau stands the Tasso White marble quarry in Tajikistan.
This is not an ordinary stone. Tasso White Marble features a gloss level exceeding 100°, a water absorption rate of only 0.11%, and a Mohs hardness of 4. These specifications indicate superior stain resistance, higher translucency, and greater durability compared to conventional marble.
Tasso White is exceptionally rare—out of every 100 blocks extracted, fewer than one qualifies as Tasso White, making it truly one in a hundred.
Globally, marble of this caliber has been identified in only three locations: Calacatta Gold in Italy, Oriental White in China, and Tasso White in Tajikistan. Its extremely limited output and high extraction costs position Tasso White as a scarce resource in the premium building materials sector.
PFM invested eight years to successfully develop this quarry, engaging international exploration teams and mining experts. For the first seven years, there was virtually no output; however, PFM remained committed and ultimately achieved successful extraction in the eighth year.

What does this signify?
For partners, PFM is not an intermediary but a direct source owner. From quarry to project site, the absence of intermediaries ensures full control over both quality and cost.
Today, Tasso White has been applied in multiple high-end projects and operates under its own dedicated brand identity—“Tasso White Marble.”
The name “Tasso White” reflects the founder’s original vision:
Tasso White — “TA” (Tajikistan) + “SS” (Susan)
Many years ago, PFM’s founder Susan connected her name, this stone, and this country as one. It is not merely a piece of marble, but a commitment that spans across the Pamir Plateau.
