Montesclaros is located approximately 140 km from Fuente de Cibeles and approximately 15 km north of Talavera de la Reina (Toledo). The marbles are very coarse to coarse-grained (crystal size up to 5 mm) and predominantly white, white-bluish in colour. In addition, there are gray, blue-gray, cream, pink and cream marbles.

Alterated marble stones have been extracted from a historic Montesclaros quarry. Samples have been extracted at 5, 10 and 15 mm from their surface (M1, M2, and M3 respectively). These samples have been cut to measure Hg intrusion porosimetry, colorimetry and for thin sections.
