Grigio Conglomerate is a distinctive natural stone quarried in China, characterized by its bluish-silver gray color and a monogenic dolomitic breccia composition that gives it a unique conglomerate appearance. This stone exhibits a striking pattern of angular fragments of dolomite and other minerals cemented together, making it an ideal material for both aesthetic and functional applications.

Texture & Pattern:

• Texture: Medium to coarse-grained with a rugged and dynamic surface.
• Pattern: Distinctive conglomerate structure featuring irregularly shaped dolomitic fragments, varying in shades of bluish-silver gray, cemented within a fine-grained matrix. The contrast between the fragments and the background enhances its natural appeal.

Test Results & Physical Properties:

• Water Absorption: 0.20% - 0.35% by weight
• Density: 2700 - 2780 kg/m³
• Compressive Strength: 152.4 - 158.0 MPa
• Flexural Strength: 14.8 - 17.3 MPa
• Hardness (Mohs): 4.0 – 5.0
• Porosity: Low to medium, contributing to enhanced durability and resistance to environmental factors.

Slip Resistance:

• Polished Finish: Moderate slip resistance (interior applications).
• Honed/Brushed Finish: Higher slip resistance, suitable for wet and exterior areas. 

Chemical & Mineral Composition (% by weight):

• Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃): 85% - 88%
• Magnesium Oxide (MgO): 8% - 10%
• Silica (SiO₂): 2% - 3%
• Iron Oxide (Fe₂O₃): 0.5% - 0.7%
