Golden Grey Marble features a light earth grey background with characteristic dark grey grain stains and spots, intertwined with distinctive golden yellow net-like veining and features. This rich, natural pattern gives the stone depth, warmth, and a sense of understated luxury, making it ideal for both modern and classical design applications.

Physical & Mechanical Properties

(typical range for Turkish marble; specific block testing is recommended)

• Density : ~2.70 g/cm³
• Water absorption : 0.25–0.40%
• Porosity : Low
• Compressive strength : 110–130 MPa
• Flexural strength : 10–14 MPa
• Mohs hardness : ~3–4 (as typical for marble)
• Abrasion resistance : Moderate
• Slip resistance : Good with honed, brushed, leathered, tumbled finishes

Chemical Composition (% by weight)

• CaCO₃ (Calcium carbonate) : 95–98%
• MgCO₃ (Magnesium carbonate) : 1–2%
• SiO₂ (Silica) : <1%
• Fe₂O₃ (Iron oxide) : ~0.5%
• Others (trace minerals) : <1%

Mineral Composition (% by weight)

Calcite: 95–98%

Dolomite: 1–2%

Accessory minerals (oxides, silicates): ~1%

Common Uses

• Interior flooring (residential and commercial)
• Wall cladding and feature walls
• Bathroom vanities and surrounds
• Countertops (light use, preferably sealed)
• Stairs, risers, thresholds
• Fireplaces and decorative elements

Available Surface Finishes

• Polished: Glossy, enhances color and veining contrast
• Honed: Smooth matte, softens colors and patterns
• Leathered: Textured surface, subtle sheen, slip-resistant
• Brushed: Gently textured, antique feel
• Tumbled: Soft edges, aged look
• Sawn cut: Rough, industrial finish

Cutting Sizes (cm)

• Tiles : 30×30, 30×60, 40×40, 60×60, 60×120
• Slabs : 120×240, 130×260, 150×300 (max)
• Thicknesses : 1.5 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm (custom on request)

Maintenance

• Periodic sealing recommended, especially for polished and honed finishes in wet or kitchen areas
• Clean with pH-neutral stone cleaners
• Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaning agents
• Regular dusting/mopping helps preserve finish
