Best selection of Marble stones.
Marble is a natural stone. It is usually light in color and consists of calcite crystals. They are locked together like pieces of a puzzle. Marble may contain colored streaks that include non-calcite minerals.
Marble is a calcareous metamorphic rock. The main difference between limestone and marble is that limestone is a sedimentary rock that is usually composed of calcium carbonate fossils. Limestone is formed when shells, sand and mud are deposited on the bottom of oceans and lakes and turn into solid rock over time. Marble is formed when sedimentary limestone is heated and compressed by natural lithification processes until the grains recrystallize. If you look closely at a limestone, you can usually see fossil fragments held together by a calcite matrix. Limestone is more porous than marble because there are tiny holes between the fossil pieces.
Marble slabs are pieces of marble that are cut to desired size, thickness and shape. After going through the processing process, they can be used in different spaces. Marble is mainly processed in the form of slabs. It can also be processed as tiles, but it is not economically viable.

Features of marble:
Light transmission: One of the main characteristics of marble stones is the ability to transmit light. Most of them let light pass through them.
Reaction to acid: Marble reacts with many acids and they neutralize the acid when crushed or corroded.
Hardness: marble is very soft and brittle and is easy to carve. This makes it a suitable option for the production of sculptures and ornamental objects. And the transparency of marble also makes it especially attractive for many types of sculptures. A number of Greek and Italian statues that are famous since ancient times are made of marble. Therefore, the high fragility of marble can be one of its advantages and disadvantages at the same time, depending on the type of use and application.
Sandability and polishability: After sanding with abrasive materials, marble gradually becomes finer and can reach a high gloss. Marble is easily polished and can be used as floor tiles, architectural panels, window sills, stair treads, columns and many other decorative pieces.
Water absorption: Marble stones have little water absorption. Its amount is less than one percent. For this reason, in wet spaces, marble is a suitable option.
Other features of marbles include the following:
They have high abrasion and pressure resistance.
They have high density.
They have little porosity.
Most types of marbles have the ability to create bookmatch and formmatch frames.
The color of most marbles is bright and eye-catching.
Marble quarries:
Iran is considered one of the most important producers of marble stones. There are many different mines in Iran that extract marble. After the processing process, many of them are exported to different countries. In addition to Iran, countries such as Italy, Turkey, China, India and Afghanistan are also among the important marble producers in the world, which account for a large part of the marble market.
Applications of marble:
Marble stones may not be the best option for the exterior architecture of the building due to their chemical characteristics as well as their color. Because after a few years the stones need additional cleaning. But they are a very suitable option for interior architecture.

According to your purpose in using marble, various factors are important in the selection and price of this stone. Design and color are important and effective factors. The more pure the color of the stone and the fewer streaks on the stone, the higher its price.
The cost of extraction, cutting and processing is also directly related to the price. Size and thickness, type of stone, quality grading, transportation cost, and the possibility of creating book match and form match frames are other factors that affect its price.
