Description
Giallo Etrusco Marble is a stunning natural stone quarried in Italy, distinguished by its pale golden-yellowish-grey color and uniform fine-grained texture. The stone features a partial flattening and orientation of its constituent granules, contributing to its distinctive appearance. Its porous structure results from interstitial spaces between granules, which are only partially filled by carbonatic cement.
The marble primarily consists of turbid dolomite crystals, turbid carbonatic algae, and limpid calcite cement, with less frequent inclusions of quartz, feldspars, and fragments of metamorphic rock. Petrographically, it is classified as calcarenite, according to the NCE-CE-CI Zuffa diagram (1980).
Physical and Mechanical Characteristics:
- Weight: Light and fairly compact.
- Porosity: Porous but frost-resistant.
- Workability:Excellent, allowing for intricate cutting and shaping.
- Durability: Offers strong mechanical resistance.
Applications:
Giallo Etrusco Marble is ideal for ornamental purposes, particularly in cladding and interior design. Its warm tones and durability make it a sought-after choice for creating elegant and timeless architectural features.
