- Water Absorption:
- 0.87 %
- Density:
- 2630 kg/m3
- Flexural Strength:
- 12.41 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 146.86 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a warm and elegant natural stone characterized by a rich golden-yellow to sandy beige background that may vary from light yellow to deeper golden tones, often enriched with subtle brown, hazelnut, or darker golden veining and occasional fossil-like structures that create depth and visual movement across the surface. The color palette evokes desert sand hues and gives the stone a luminous, luxurious appearance suitable for refined architectural applications. Its texture is generally compact and fine to medium-grained, with a relatively uniform structure composed primarily of calcite, sometimes displaying faint sedimentary or fossil patterns typical of Sinai-region marbles. The stone exhibits a dense, cohesive matrix with occasional micro-veins and small natural pits that are commonly filled during finishing to achieve a smooth surface. When polished, it reveals a soft reflective sheen that enhances its golden tones and veining, while honed or brushed finishes highlight its natural structure and earthy character. Overall, Jaune Atlantide Marble presents a consistent yet naturally varied texture with subtle structural movement, making it suitable for decorative interior and exterior applications such as flooring, wall cladding, stairs, and architectural detailing
