Marmara White

   Paleosoic aged marbles have marble and dolomitic lithologies. Marbles, being alternated with schists are cutted by a gnelssified granite. These marbles are observed as white dolomites and light gray – white marbles containing gray bands and stains. Dolomites are being founded as lenses in the marble body. Sample of this marble is consisted by calcite minerals of unit sizes 0,25 – 0,85mm showing pressure twinning.

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

   Block dimensions vary between 1,20 * 1,00 * 0.80 m and 2,40 * 1,80 * 1,20 m . Plates of 1,2,4,6, and 8mm thicknesses and desired dimensions can be obtained.
