Gölpazari Beige

   Middle Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous Golpazari Beige marble is lithologically a limestone. Late Jurassic aged sandstones are found at the basement. Over these, upper cratecaous sandstones are flysch facies and marls and limestones are being find.

   This marble consists of micritic calcite with unit sizes less than 5 microns and has sparitic calcite in its fractures and voids.

   Can be used in interior plating, floor covering and decoration. The suitability to take block; to cut sides and corners; the shapeability; and the cutting rate are all normal. The suitability to take plate and to be polished are good. There isn’t any rusting risk.

   Block dimensions vary between 1.20*1.20*1.80m and 1.80*1.80*1.50m. Larger blocks may be obtained at the localities with wide joint intervals upon request. Plates of 2cm standard or 3cm thickness and desired dimensions can be obtained.Hardness: 4(mohs)
