Appearance (Color, Pattern, Texture)

Color: Soft cloudy grey base, ranging from light to medium tones.

Pattern: Characterized by distinctive light and dark wooden texture-like diagonal veins, creating a natural, flowing pattern reminiscent of wood grain or aurora streaks.

Texture: Fine to medium crystalline texture typical of marble, with a smooth, polished finish that highlights its subtle veining.

Physical & Mechanical Properties

• Mohs Hardness : ~3–4 (calcite-based marble)
• Compressive Strength : ~80–120 MPa
• Flexural Strength : ~10–15 MPa
• Water Absorption : ~0.3–0.5% by weight
• Density / Specific Gravity : ~2.6–2.7 g/cm³

Chemical & Mineral Composition (% by weight)

• CaCO₃ (Calcite) : ~90–95%
• MgCO₃ (Dolomite) : ~2–5%
• SiO₂ (Quartz) : <1%
• Fe₂O₃ and others : Trace amounts

Primarily composed of calcite, with minor dolomite and trace minerals contributing to coloration and pattern.

Applications & Usage

Interiors:

• Flooring, wall cladding, feature walls, and countertops
• Bathroom vanities, fireplaces, and decorative panels

Commercial & Residential:

• Lobby floors, hotel interiors, restaurants, and upscale residences

Best used in areas with moderate traffic due to marble’s relative softness compared to granite or quartzite.

Cutting Sizes & Formats

Slabs: Typically available in 2 cm and 3 cm thicknesses

Sizes range around 250–320 cm (length) × 150–200 cm (width) depending on block size

Tiles: Standard sizes like 30×30 cm, 60×60 cm, 60×120 cm are common, with custom cuts available.

Surface Finish Options

Polished: High gloss finish that enhances color depth and vein contrast.

Honed: Matte, smooth finish for a more subtle and contemporary look.

Leathered: Slightly textured surface with a soft sheen, offering slip resistance.

Brushed: Textured finish suitable for flooring with enhanced grip.

Maintenance & Care

Sealing: Recommended to protect against stains and water absorption, especially in wet areas.

Cleaning: Use pH-neutral cleaners designed for natural stone. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that may etch or dull the surface.

Durability: Moderate hardness; scratches and etching possible with harsh use. Regular maintenance will prolong appearance and life.
