Physical and Mechanical Properties
- Color:Primary: Creamy light beige or off-white. Veining: Subtle grey or beige
- Density:2700 kg/m³
- Water Absorption:By weight: 0.59%, By volume: 1.5%
- Compressive Strength:Range: 73.19 - 78.31 MPa
- Flexural Strength:Typically falls between 7 - 12 MPa depending on the specific sample and test method
- Hardness:Moderate, consistent with other marble types (usually measured by the Mohs scale in a general sense, marble averages around 3)
- Porosity:Low to medium, contributing to its water absorption characteristics
- Slip Resistance:Dependent on finish; polished surfaces tend to have lower slip resistance, while honed or textured surfaces offer better grip
Chemical and Mineral Composition
- Calcite (CaCO₃): 90-98%
- Dolomite (CaMg(CO₃)₂): Slightly present depending on the specific quarry location
- Quartz (SiO₂): Occasionally present in minimal quantities
- Iron Oxides and Other Trace Minerals: Imparts the specific veining color
Usage
Applications:
- Interior flooring and wall cladding
- Bathroom vanities and shower surrounds
- Kitchen countertops and backsplashes
- Fireplace surrounds
- Decorative and artistic installations
Cutting Sizes:
- Common tile dimensions: 30x30 cm, 60x60 cm, 30x60 cm
- Slabs are available in varying sizes based on block size and cut requirements
Surface Finish Options:
- Polished: Offers a glossy and reflective surface.
- Honed: Provides a matte finish, enhancing slip resistance.
- Brushed or Antiqued: Textured surface for a more rustic look.
- Tumbled: Aged appearance through a gentle distressing process.
Maintenance
- Routine Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth or mop.
- Sealing: Regular sealing is recommended to protect against staining due to marble's natural porosity.
- Avoiding Damage: Use trivets or mats under hot dishes. Avoid acidic cleaners which can etch the marble surface.
- Polishing: Re-polishing can be done periodically to maintain the shine of polished surfaces.
By maintaining and utilizing Aran White Marble with appropriate care, its natural beauty can be preserved for years, making it a versatile choice for many architectural and design purposes.

Project Show
Khartang Grand Mosque – Aran White Marble Columns Project
Excellent Stone participated in the Khartang Grand Mosque project by supplying and fabricating 26 Aran White Marble columns for the main prayer hall.
These columns are key structural and architectural elements, combining load-bearing function with intricate Islamic decorative carving. The project required strict control over material consistency, dimensional accuracy, and surface finishing.
Each column was fabricated in multiple sections, including bases, shafts, decorative carved bands, and capitals. CNC machining was used for primary shaping, followed by detailed manual finishing to achieve precise profiles and clean carving depth.
To ensure smooth on-site installation, all components were produced with clear identification and strict tolerance control. Trial assembly and final inspection were conducted in the factory to verify alignment, geometry, and surface quality before delivery.
This project demonstrates our capability in handling large-scale religious stonework, particularly complex marble column systems that require both structural reliability and refined craftsmanship.
