Green Oasis Marble

Green Oasis Marble is a luxurious natural stone characterized by its elegant aesthetic and robust properties. Quarried in the Muğla region of Turkey, it is known for its distinctive appearance featuring a white background interspersed with rich shades of green, ranging from dark emerald to sage, along with occasional greyish-black tonal variations. The stone's allure is heightened by the dynamic veining and occasional cloudy mineral formations, offering a sophisticated touch to any space it occupies.

Physical and Mechanical Properties

• Water Absorption:Approximately 0.20% to 0.30 %. Indicates the marble's low porosity and high resistance to moisture infiltration.

• Density:Approximately 2.70 to 2.73 g/cm³. Reflects the stone's robust and compact structure.

• Flexural Strength:Ranges from 10 to 13 MPa. Demonstrates the marble's ability to withstand bending forces.

• Compressive Strength:Generally between 160 to 170 MPa. Highlights its capacity to endure high compressive loads.

• Hardness:Mohr's Scale: Around 3 to 4. It is sufficiently hard for standard applications, yet can be scratched by more rigorous forces.

• Porosity:Low porosity (0.2% to 0.5%). Ensures durability and resistance to staining.

• Slip Resistance:Varies by surface finish; polished surfaces may exhibit lower resistance, while honed or textured finishes provide better grip.

Chemical and Mineral Compositions

• Primary Minerals:Calcite (CaCO₃): Approximately 90% to 95%. Minor amounts of dolomite

• Additional Elements:Small quantities of serpentine, chlorite, and iron oxides impart greenish and other tonal variations.

Usage

Interior Applications:

• Flooring
• Wall Cladding
• Bathroom Vanities
• Kitchen Countertops
• Fireplace Surrounds

Exterior Applications:

• Facade Cladding
• Outdoor flooring (if slip-resistant finish is applied)

Maintenance

• Sealing: Regular sealing is recommended to prevent staining, particularly if used in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas.
• Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral cleaner to avoid etching or damaging the marble surface.

Cutting Sizes

• Common dimensions include:
• Tiles: 30x30, 30x60, 60x60 cm
• Slabs: Custom sizes, often cut to order

Available Surface Finish Options

• Polished:Offers a high-gloss finish that enhances the stone's color and veining.

• Honed:Provides a matte, uniform surface with a softer look and slightly more slip resistance.

• Brushed:Imparts a textured surface that adds character and improved slip resistance.

• Sandblasted:Creates a rougher texture ideal for exterior applications where increased slip resistance is needed.

Green Oasis Marble, with its blend of aesthetic appeal and durable physical properties, makes for a versatile choice in both residential and commercial projects, especially where a touch of natural elegance is desired.
