Burdur Brown

   Mesozoic aged Burdur Brown is a brown limestone with calcite veins. Triassic aged limestones are found at the base. Upper cretaceous aged ophyolitic mélange is overlying it with tectonic contacts. In general; this marble is made up of calcite minerals of sizes varying between 1 micron and 4 microns. Sparicalcite with grain sizes 50-300 microns has been observed in the veins, fractures and voids.

   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 good. The suitability to polish and the cutting rate are normal. There isn’t any rusting risk.

   Block dimensions vary between 1.20*0.80*0.60m and 1.80*1.60*1.50m. Plates of 2 or 3cm thick or desired dimensions can be obtained.
