Things to Know about Picking the Perfect Marble
Slab

In Geology, the word marble refers to
metamorphosed limestone. The marble stone is
commonly used in carving stone sculptures and in
constructing buildings. This naturally existing
marble stone is made of non-metamorphosed
limestone. Marble used for construction is made
up of mostly Calcium or Calcite, Dolomite to
Serpentine. This type of natural marble slab can
be well-polished and used for floors, walls, and
kitchen countertops.

Marble suitable for constructing permanent
structures is made of Calcium or non-Calcium
rocks. In the widespread stone trade, these are
sold as 2-dimensional stone slabs. Marbles are
available in exciting shades, namely white, pink,
grey, and maroon. There are no Industrial
standards specified for the quality of
construction of marble slabs. Here are the six
crucial tips for handpicking the perfect Indian
marble slabs for your home.

No mesh on the reverse side Ensure there is no
mesh on the opposite side of the marble slab.
When present, it confirms that the marble slab is
brittle.   The mesh composed of fiber-glass
resin was added to protect the marble from
breakage. This marble slab is unsuitable for use
in areas frequently used.
5
Absence of holes Hold the well-polished marble
slab at a 45-degree angle under bright light. If
there are small dull patches, then there are
small holes filled with epoxy or resins. Often,
lower graded Thassos White marbles require these
fillings.   High graded marbles have no holes. It
is best not to use marbles with fillings since
those come off over time. Then, homeowners have
to patch up the holes to save marble slabs from
more damage. Fillings do not match the color of
natural marble.
6
No lines on the top surface The top surface of
the marble slab has deep lines. Turn it and
search for holes on the reverse side. Marbles
like Crema Marfil get holes running deep, and
these cause cracks on the top surface. These
marble slabs with small holes can be used on
walls. Learn the full name and hardness
factor Ask the full name of the marble used in
the slab. For instance, Thassos AAA is a higher
graded marble than the standard Thassos. Find out
the hardness factor of sculpture, but that does
not guarantee the high quality.
7
Marble with high hardness factor and fiber-glass
resin mesh is lower than marble with low hardness
factor. Acid degradable Acids react with
marbles calcium carbonate to form carbon dioxide
and water. Even a weak solution of Vinegar
(Acetic acid) reacts with marble slabs.

Microbe degradable Scientists discovered
bacteria and fungi degrade marbles in Milan
Cathedral. Methylophaga Murata bacterium of
Haloalkaliphilic Methylotrophic destroyed marble
in Kremlin. Cladosporium uses Melanin to feed on
dried-up acrylic resin.   Elegant Natural Stones
