Marble mineral data.

Marble is a versatile product that can be used in different applications. The data capturing exercise will be carried out to determine the quality and the quality of the marble beneath the ground in a section of the extensive marble field in the town. The mineral distribution maps highlight the correlations between mineralogical composition and the layered polychromatic characteristics of the marble. Stockbridge marble including inwood marble white to gray massive to layered marble generally dolomitic but containing calcite marble in upper part locally interlayered with schist or phyllite and with calcareous siltstone or sandstone.

It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite caco 3 and usually contains other minerals such as clay minerals micas quartz pyrite iron oxides and graphite. Find all the marble technical information on this natural material for its installation and maintenance. Metamorphic rock containing more than 50 vol. These minerals can give marble a pink brown gray green or variegated coloration.

In addition a triangular discriminant plot of the quantitative mineral abundance data indicates that the marble samples display a petrological continuum from calc silicate to metacarbonate rock. Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism. Usually marble contains other minerals including quartz graphite pyrite and iron oxides.
