Pattern: Predominantly light silver-grey with lighter streaks and occasional cloudy hues, sometimes accented with soft fossil imprints or faint mineral grains.

Appearance: Balanced, subtle, and elegant—ideal for creating sleek contemporary spaces or refined traditional designs.

Physical & Mechanical Test Results

(typical values for Turkish marble; may vary slightly depending on quarry block)

• Bulk Density: ~2.68 g/cm³
• Water Absorption: 0.25% by weight
• Porosity: 0.5–1.0%
• Compressive Strength: 110–130 MPa
• Flexural Strength: 12–15 MPa
• Abrasion Resistance: High (suitable for flooring and stairs)
• Hardness (Mohs): ~3

Chemical & Mineral Composition

(% by weight, approximate)

• CaCO₃ (Calcium Carbonate): 94–96%
• SiO₂ (Silica): 2–3%
• MgCO₃ (Magnesium Carbonate): 1–2%
• Fe₂O₃ (Iron Oxide): <1% (responsible for slight grey hues)
• Trace minerals: Quartz, feldspar, and fossil fragments

Usage Applications

• Interior flooring and wall cladding
• Kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities
• Staircases, risers, and thresholds
• Fireplace surrounds and decorative accents
• Lobby and reception areas in hotels, offices, and luxury residences
• Exterior cladding (with proper sealing and maintenance)

Maintenance

Regular cleaning with pH-neutral cleaners recommended. Avoid acidic or abrasive agents that may etch the surface. Annual sealing is advised for countertops, flooring, and high-traffic areas. Polished finish should be periodically repolished to maintain its sheen.
