Analysis & Usage Notes

  • Durability: With a high ratio of fullness and low water absorption, this marble offers excellent resistance to environmental factors, making it suitable for both interior and limited exterior applications.
  • Aesthetics: The “Antelope” variant provides a more contemporary look compared to classic white marbles, offering a subtle movement in the veining that hides minor wear well.
  • Maintenance: Due to its calcium carbonate base, it is recommended to avoid acidic cleaning agents to preserve the polished finish.

Note: These values are based on standard laboratory testing averages. Specific quarry blocks may show slight variations in mineral composition and physical performance.
