Saint Pelagia Marble

Saint Pelagia Marble is an exotic and visually striking natural stone quarried in Cambodia. It features a dramatic interplay of dark gray to black backgrounds, highlighted with white and golden yellow streaks and light hues in flowing, cloud-like patterns. This elegant marble is favored in both classic and modern architectural applications due to its richness of color, natural veining, and premium finish.

- Compressive Strength : 90 – 130 MPa
- Flexural Strength : 10 – 18 MPa
- Abrasion Resistance : Medium (suitable for floors with moderate use)
- Mohs Hardness : 3 – 4
- Slip Resistance : Varies by finish (flamed/bush-hammered increase slip resistance)
Chemical and Mineral Composition (% by weight):
- Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) : 85% – 95%
- Silica (SiO2) : 2% – 6%
- Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) : 0.5% – 2.5% (gives golden streaks)
- Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3) : 1% – 2%
- Alumina (Al2O3) : 0.3% – 1.5%
- Other Minerals : Trace (pyrite, graphite, mica)
Cutting Sizes (in cm):
Tiles : 30x30, 60x30, 60x60, 80x40, 90x60
Slabs : 250–300 cm x 140–200 cm (2 cm / 3 cm thick)
Custom Cuts : Vanity tops, stairs, thresholds, etc.
Surface Finish Options:
- Polished : High gloss, mirror-like finish; rich contrast

Maintenance & Care:
- Requires periodic sealing to prevent staining (especially in kitchens or wet areas)
- Clean using pH-neutral stone cleaners; avoid acids
- Polish and re-hone can restore gloss over time
- Not ideal for heavy commercial flooring due to moderate abrasion resistance
- For outdoor use, non-slip finishes like flamed or bush-hammered are recommended
Key Selling Points:
- Unique dark palette with natural gold and white contrasts
- Sophisticated aesthetic for modern and classic interiors
- Durable and dense, with low porosity for a polished marble
