Testing
- Water Absorption:
- 0.16 %
- Density:
- 2732 kg/m 3
- Flexural Strength:
- 18.09 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 179.4 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a rich coffee-brown to dark chocolate background accented with flowing black, caramel, golden beige, and smoky gray mineral patterns that create a sophisticated and earthy appearance. The stone often displays medium to large crystalline formations with soft movement and occasional wave-like veining, giving the surface depth and natural visual energy while maintaining overall consistency. Its luxurious warm tones and subtle reflective mineral particles make it especially suitable for classic and contemporary interiors alike. The texture is medium- to coarse-grained with a dense igneous crystalline structure composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and dark mica minerals, providing excellent durability, compactness, and resistance to abrasion and weathering. Polished surfaces enhance the richness of the brown coloration and the reflective crystalline details, while honed or leathered finishes reveal a softer, more natural tactile character
