   This Middle Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous marble is lithologically recrystallised limestone. Paleosoic aged metamorphical schistes are found at the basement. Regionally, ophyolitic mélange are being in contact with marbles tectonically at the top. Recrystallisation has been resulted by Paleocene aged granite, cutting the limestones. Zones of granite or slica can be observed in fractures or between the bedding planes due to this.

   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; and the cutting rate are all good. There isn’t any rusting risk.

   Block dimensions vary between 1.50*1.20*1.00m and 2.40*2.00*1.60m. Larger blocks can be obtained upon request. Plates with 1,2, or 3cm thicknesses and desired dimensions can be taken.
