Leopard

   Triassic aged Leopard marble is lithologically a crytallised limestone. These are conformably covers the Triassic metamorphic schistes, while are overlied regionally by ophyolitic mélange. This marble of generally catacalastic texture has red-yellow veins, knots and zones in a white background. Calcite crystals of 0.9-1.9mm grain sizes are found as bands in the marble.

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

   Block dimensions vary between 2.40*1.00*0.80m and 3.00*2.00*1.20m. Plates of 1,2, or 3cm thick and desired dimensions can be obtained.
