Afyon White

   Dating from the paleosoic era, this marble is a classical metamorphical one. The marble found as lenses inside the Afyon Metamorphites. Mode of green schist facies is overlied ny neogene Volcanites. It consists of calcite crystals of granoblastic texture. Being mainly white, it contains occasional yellow veins.

   Can be utilized in interior/exterior plating, statues, decorations and monuments.

   The suitability to take block and plate, to cut sides and corners and to polish; the shapeability; and the cutting rate are all excellent. There isn’t any rusting risk.

   Block dimensions vary between 1.50*1.20*0.80m and 3.0*2.0*1.2m. There are quarries which can provide larger blocks upon request. Plates of 1,2, or 3cm of thickness and desired dimensions can be obtained.
