Hardness |
3.5 Mohs |
The high hardness of the stone provides an advantage in terms of smooth processing and transportation. It eliminates the need and cost of epoxy mesh. Suitable for use in chiseling and turning. Efficient for object products and sculptor work. The fine-grained internal structure is an important criterion that increases the degree of hardness. Corner and edge efficiency increases and provides resistance against external factors. It provides durability in elements such as impact resistance, wind load, weight, heavy traffic in the applied areas. It is the most important criterion for the longevity of natural stone. |
Density |
(gr/cm³) 2.75
|
It refers to the density level of natural stone per unit area. As the density increases, the possibility of wear from negative factors decreases and its durability and insulation properties increase. It provides information about the unit weight of natural stone and the static loads it will create in the area where it is applied.
|
Porosity |
2,28% |
Natural stones have a porous structure due to their metamorphic formation. The minimum level of porosity minimizes liquid and air permeability. |
Water absorption rate |
0,12% |
Due to their porous structure, natural stones absorb some liquid on contact. Keeping this rate as low as possible directly affects the stone’s insulation, durability and health against freeze-thaw cycles. |
Polishing feature |
88,5% |
The fine-grained structure of the stone allows it to take polish very well. It is a positive indicator of the quality of the polishing process applied to the surface and its ability to protect for a long time. It shows the ability to efficiently maintain the shiny and vivid appearance of surfaces for many years.

Mechanical Features |
Test Result | Information |
---|---|---|
Compressive Strength |
7528 psi |
It shows the strength of natural stone in terms of elements such as seismic, static, wind load and impact strengths acting on its surface. |
Bending Strength |
24,2 MPa |
It shows its strength in terms of elements such as strong wind and seismic loads acting on natural stone. |
Abrasion Resistance |
19,16 mm |
It shows abrasion resistance, especially on floors with high foot traffic or high friction. |
Segregation Parameters | Test Result | Information |
---|---|---|
Freeze thaw resistance |
Mass loss 0.03 |
The low porosity of natural stone is considered beneficial in terms of the moisture trapped. It shows that the moisture leaking into the internal cavities of the stone will freeze and expand and will be minimized by the capillary deformations it will create in its internal structure. |
To be weathered by salt vapor |
0,07% |
For marbles to be used as exterior cladding in areas where flue gases and similar corrosive toxic substances that combine with the humidity of the air to form acids and similar corrosive toxic substances, it refers to its resistance to harmful effects. |
Color health |
Successful |
Its dark veins do not contain carbon. Unlike many dark stones, it is more resistant to the UV effects of the sun and other external factors. |
