Pattern: Gentle, flowing cloud patterns that create a serene and timeless look.

Physical & Mechanical Properties

• Density: ~2.70 – 2.72 g/cm³ (~2700 – 2720 kg/m³) – consistent with quality marble, ensuring durability.
• Compressive Strength: ~90 – 95 MPa – indicating a robust material for structural and decorative use.
• Flexural Strength: ~12 – 15 MPa – good flexibility for cladding and interior applications.
• Porosity: Low to moderate – standard for marble, suitable for interior spaces and light exterior applications in mild climates.
• Slip Resistance: Varies with surface finish.
• Hardness (Mohs): ~3 – 3.5 – typical of marble, softer than granite, making it easier to shape and polish.

Chemical & Mineral Composition (% by weight)

• Calcite (CaCO₃): ~93 – 96% – main mineral responsible for the stone’s classic marble appearance.
• Quartz (SiO₂): ~2 – 4% – white quartz streaks provide sparkle and natural beauty.
• Clay & Other Minerals: ~1 – 3% – contribute to the earthy tones and subtle patterning.

Surface Finish Options 

• Polished – Mirror-like shine, highlights the veining and patterns, popular for luxurious interiors. 
• Honed – Smooth, matte finish, more slip-resistant, ideal for flooring. 
• Brushed/Leathered – Textured surface with a soft sheen, adds warmth and character. 
• Sandblasted – Coarse finish with better slip resistance, good for outdoor applications. 
• Tumbled – Weathered and rustic look, popular for accent pieces or feature walls.

Usage & Applications

Interior:

• Flooring
• Wall cladding
• Countertops
• Fireplace surrounds
• Bathroom vanities

Exterior (in mild climates):

Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Use pH-neutral cleaners; avoid acidic solutions (vinegar, lemon juice).
• Sealing: Recommended to reduce water absorption and staining; reapply as needed depending on foot traffic and exposure.
• Polishing: Professional refinishing can restore gloss and refresh the surface.

Cutting Sizes (cm)

Slabs: Typically cut in large format slabs (e.g., 120 x 240 cm or larger) for seamless applications.

Tiles: Common tile sizes include 30 x 30 cm, 60 x 30 cm, 60 x 60 cm, and custom sizes based on project needs.
