Palissandro Classico,Palissandro Marble Slabs

Dolomitic calcium silicate marble characterized by the presence of dolomite and phlogopite, fine grained; the phlogopite is small and distributed homogeneously

and therefore the foliation is less marked than the Onitto Palissandro variety.

The mineralogical composition is: dolomite, calcite, phlogopite, quartz, plagioclase (An 80- 90%), tremolite, titanite, epidote.
