THE IDENTIFICATION OF Natural Amethyst

  Natural amethysts are fairly rare in the world of retail jewelry, where most colored gemstones are heat treated at the very least to improve color, shine and clarity. It can be very difficult to discern differences between natural and treated amethysts that have already been cut and polished, so you may simply decide to purchase a raw amethyst and have it custom cut and designed yourself. However, this can be extremely expensive, so you may elect to simply take your chances with your own personal investigative abilities and the help of a trusted jeweler.




  Look for the crystals. If you are looking for amethysts in nature, then you should look for large, purple or violet crystals. However, if you are examining stones that are ready to be cut, you can also learn a lot from the shapes of the crystals. Many amethyst mines produce unique crystals that may be clear on the inside and purple on the outside or create a prism effect when light is shined through them. These can be indications that a stone is natural and mined rather than grown.

  2

  Inquire about the origin of the amethyst. If a jeweler can tell you where a gem was mined, it increases the likelihood that the jeweler also knows something about the history of the gem in the following months. While many retail jewelers working on commission may tell you whatever you want to hear about a stone regardless of what they actually know or do not know to be true, a salesperson who can actually produce information about the stone's history is more likely to know what they are talking about.

  3

  Look for flaws. Although interior flaws in colored gemstones are generally not that big a deal, they can be a good indication as to whether a gemstone is natural or fake. False stones will be flawless, whereas a natural stone will probably have some inclusions. These will be unlikely to affect the look of the stone on the surface since flaws in colored stones can sometimes even enhance sparkle and shine, but they are a good indication that the stone is, at the very least, mined rather than grown.

THE DEFINITION OF SEDIMENTARY ROCK

  Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (along with igneous and metamorphic rocks) and is formed in three main ways—by the deposition of the weathered remains of other rocks (known as clastic sedimentary rocks); by the deposition of the results of biogenic activity; and by precipitation from solution. Sedimentary rocks include common types such as chalk, limestone, sandstone, and shale.

  Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (along with igneous and metamorphic rocks) and is formed in three main ways—by the deposition of the weathered remains of other rocks (known as clastic sedimentary rocks); by the deposition of the results of biogenic activity; and by precipitation from solution. Sedimentary rocks include common types such as chalk, limestone, sandstone, and shale.

 


  Formation

  Sedimentary rocks are formed from overburden pressure as particles of sediment are deposited out of air, ice, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. As sediment deposition builds up, the overburden (or lithostatic) pressure squeezes the sediment into layered solids in a process known as lithification ("rock formation") and the original connate fluids are expelled. The term diagenesis is used to describe all the chemical, physical, and biological changes undergone by a sediment after its initial deposition and during and after its lithification, exclusive of surface alteration (weathering).

  Sedimentary rocks contain important information about the history of the Earth. They contain fossils, the preserved remains of ancient plants and animals. The composition of sediments provides us with clues as to the original rock. Differences between successive layers indicate changes to the environment which have occurred over time. Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils because, unlike most igneous and metamorphic rocks, they form at temperatures and pressures that do not destroy fossil remnants.

  The sedimentary rock cover of the continents of the Earth's crust is extensive, but the total contribution of sedimentary rocks is estimated to be only five percent of the total. As such, the sedimentary sequences we see represent only a thin veneer over a crust consisting mainly of igneous and metamorphic rocks.

  Clastic sedimentary rocks

  Clastic sedimentary rocks are composed of discrete fragments or clasts of materials derived from other rocks. They are composed largely of quartz with other common minerals including feldspars, amphiboles, clay minerals, and sometimes more exotic igneous and metamorphic minerals.

  Clastic sedimentary rocks may be regarded as falling along a scale of grain size, with shale being the finest with particles less than 0.004 mm, siltstone being intermediate with particles between 0.004 to 0.06 mm, and sandstone being coarser still with grains 0.06 tp 0.2 mm, and conglomerates and breccias being the coarsest with grains 2 to 256 mm.

  The classification of clastic sedimentary rocks is complex because there are many variables involved. Particle size (both the average size and range of sizes of the particles), composition of the particles, the cement, and the matrix (the name given to the smaller particles present in the spaces between larger grains) must all be taken into consideration.

  Shales, which consist mostly of clay minerals, are generally further classified on the basis of composition and bedding.

  Courser clastic sedimentary rocks are classified according to their particle size and composition. Orthoquartzite is a very pure quartz sandstone; arkose is a sandstone with quartz and abundant feldspar; greywacke is a sandstone with quartz, clay, feldspar, and metamorphic rock fragments present.

  All rocks disintegrate slowly as a result of mechanical weathering and chemical weathering.

  Mechanical weathering is the breakdown of rock into particles without producing changes in the chemical composition of the minerals in the rock. Ice is the most important agent of mechanical weathering. Water percolates into cracks and fissures within the rock, freezes, and expands. The force exerted by the expansion is sufficient to widen cracks and break off pieces of rock. Heating and cooling of the rock, and the resulting expansion and contraction, also aids the process. Mechanical weathering contributes further to the breakdown of rock by increasing the surface area exposed to chemical agents.

  Chemical weathering is the breakdown of rock by chemical reaction. In this process the minerals within the rock are changed into particles that can be easily carried away. Air and water are both involved in many complex chemical reactions. The minerals in igneous rocks may be unstable under normal atmospheric conditions, those formed at higher temperatures being more readily attacked than those which formed at lower temperatures. Igneous rocks are commonly attacked by water, particularly acid or alkaline solutions, and all of the common igneous rock forming minerals (with the exception of quartz which is very resistant) are changed in this way into clay minerals and chemicals in solution.

  Rock particles in the form of clay, silt, sand, and gravel, are transported by the agents of erosion (usually water, and less frequently by ice and wind) to new locations and redeposited in layers, generally at a lower elevation.

  These agents reduce the size of the particles, sort them by size, and then deposit them in new locations. The sediments dropped by streams and rivers form alluvial fans, flood plains, deltas, and on the bottom of lakes and the sea floor. The wind may move large amounts of sand and other smaller particles.
Glaciers transport and deposit great quantities of usually unsorted rock material as till.

  These deposited particles eventually become compacted and cemented together, forming clastic sedimentary rocks. Such rocks contain inert minerals which are resistant to mechanical and chemical breakdown such as quartz, zircon, rutile, and magnetite. Quartz is one of the most mechanically and chemically resistant minerals.

  Biogenic sedimentary rocks

  Biogenic sedimentary rocks contain materials generated by living organisms, and include carbonate minerals created by organisms, such as corals, molluscs, and foraminifera, which cover the ocean floor with layers of calcite which can later form limestone. Other examples include stromatolites, and the flint nodules found in chalk (which is itself a biogenic sedimentary rock, a form of limestone).

  Precipitate sedimentary rocks

  Precipitate sedimentary rocks form when mineral solutions, such as sea water, evaporate. Examples include the evaporite minerals halite and gypsum.

  Other information

  Sedimentary rocks are economically important in that they can be used as construction material. In addition, sedimentary rocks often form porous and permeable reservoirs in sedimentary basins in which petroleum and other hydrocarbons can be found.

  It is believed that the relatively low levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, in comparison to that of Venus, is due to large amounts of carbon being trapped in limestone and dolomite sedimentary layers. The flux of carbon from eroded sediments to marine deposits is known as the carbon cycle.

  The shape of the particles in sedimentary rocks has an important effect on the ability of micro-organisms to colonize them. This interaction is studied in the science of geomicrobiology. One measure of the shape of these particles is the roundness factor, also known as the Krumbein number after the geologist W. C. Krumbein.

TOP STONE BASES IN CHINA

  After nearly 20 years of efforts, China has built a modern stone preliminary industrial system, forming dozens of stone bases for stone industry and trade, as Asia's largest stone processing and trade center. Now there are about 3 million stone industries and trade enterprises in China, mainly in Fujian, Guangdong, Shandong and other places. Formed four stone processing bases and a logistics distribution center, that is, Laizhou, Shandong, Fujian Nanan, Yunfu, Guangdong, and Xiamen, Fujian and Sichuan Yaan. Here are some typical production base of stone situation:




  1.Shandong Laizhou Stone Industry Base

  2.Yunfu Stone Industry Base

  3.Stone industry and trade base in Yaan, Sichuan

  4.Stone industry and trade base in Xiamen, Fujian

  Including Xiamen, Quanzhou, Fuding and other large areas where has abundant granites resources, a long history, the famous Hui'an stone carving. Most of people's houses also had been built by stone articles. A small factory workshops of ten years ago is now a imported processing lines, so that the quantity has increased in yield and quality also greatly improved. And products have been sold abroad, only the slab has been sold more than 10 million square meters, in addition, stone processing, stone machinery, stone abrasives manufacturing.

MARKET PRICES OF NATURAL STONE

  "Granite and marble is expensive," is an often heard assumption. It is true, today it is far less the case as granite and marble prices have dropped substantially.

  In recent years, a large number of new granites and marbles at very competitive prices appeared in the natural stone market ?mainly from countries such as China and India. Natural stone producers in Europe, America and other parts of the world reacted by reducing granite and marble prices themselves. A number of natural stone companies went out of business because the low prices did not permit to continue profitable operations.

  But not all natural stone is cheap today. There are also those granites and mables that are still extremely exclusive and expensive. The cost of a natural stone depends on a number of factors. We want to look briefly at a few of them to understand why there are so large diferences in prices at the natural stone market.
 

  The first step in the natural stone production process is the quarying of the granite or marble. The natural stone has to be extracted from a mountain or soil. This is the first important factor when thinking about natural stone production cost. Sometimes, the granite or marble quarries are located in remote areas that are difficult to access, and it may even be necesary to build a new road only to be able to get to the natural stone quarry during rain season.

  The mechanical properties of a granite or marble may influence its price as well. Think of cutting the natural stone block into slabs or tiles for flooring. The harder the natural stone, the more time it requires to cut and the more energy it consumes. And it is speaking of days that it takes to cut one block of granite. Therefore, very hard natural stones like Azul do Mar can be relatively costly at the time of cutting. On the other hand, they can be extremely long lasting?speaking of decades and centuries?because they are so hard.

  A third factor when it comes to prices of natural stone is the availability of a certain type of granite or marble. The deposits of some natural stones are very limited and only allow for the extraction of a small quantity of material. The investment for setting up the machines and open then quarry however remain the same. To reach a profit it is therefore necesary to sell at a higher price than the common mass market natural stones.
 
 
  The mass market granites and marbles often come from quarries with large deposits of natural stone. Those deposits often have a capacity to deliver huge monthly quantities of granite or marble for a period of many decades.

  For what we have learned, the quality of cheaper natural stone can be as good as the quality of more expensive granites and marbles. However, there are unfortunately also producers of cheap natural stone that deliver poor quality. It is therefore always a good idea to take a closer look at the natural stone you want to buy. Before the actual purchase of a larger quantity of a certain granite or marble, it is usually a good idea?and may save money and trouble?to get a third opition from an outside natural stone expert.

The development history of stone

  Stone is a natural solid formation of one or many minerals. There are thousands of types of stone that have been quarried through the centuries. Quarries are located all around the world. A majority of natural stone comes from IRAN ,Italy, Spain, Turkey, United States, Mexico, China, Taiwan, India, Greece, Canada, France, and Brazil. The minerals in stone came from the same liquid and gas minerals that formed the earth. The Earth developed as a massive body of gas and liquid minerals that slowly cooled and condensed to a solid core.


 
  Through pressure, the Earth's crust began to form and heavy minerals were forced down to the core of the Earth where they were trapped. As the crust got thicker, it squeezed around the inner core which created intense pressure and heat from within the Earth. Crystals and other solid forms began to grow from the mineral vapors that were being released. As the Earth's crust began to expand and erode, heat and pressure pushed the solid minerals up to the Earth's surface which formed colossal rock beds. It took up to one-hundred million years to form some of these beds. Many of the beds are now used as quarries where the stone is mined. Most of these minerals can be identified by their color, hardness, and crystal formation. Crystals come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The wide array of these minerals are often difficult to identify. Many stones look very similar to each other; however, they are all very different.It is imperative to know the exact type of stone that is to be maintained. Stone is natural and may have adverse reactions to certain cleaning chemicals and procedures.

  Most stones are also natural alkalis and so are dirt and soil; therefore, stone and dirt are attracted to each other which often makes cleaning very difficult. This makes the proper selection of cleaning procedures and chemicals for stone very complex. Always consult with a Professional to establish a precise stone Maintenance system.

MAINTENANCE SKILLS OF FOUR KINDS OF STONE

  This text is a short summary and general guide of maintenance recommendations and processes which have proved practical for many stone surfaces over the years. It should not be assumed that any particular process description or recommendation is suitable for any particular project or situation without qualification. There are many variables which must be considered when designing a maintenance program including: physical properties of the stone, abrasion risk, hostile factors in the environment, the maintenance budget and the skill of the maintenance personnel. It is highly recommended that a maintenance professional be consulted if there is any doubt about whether or not a specific method or product is safe and effective.
 


  Marble
  Composition: Calcite, Calcium Carbonate
  Hardness: Soft
  Absorption: Oil, Water
  Limitations: Absorbs oils and other liquids, easily scratched, acid sensitive
  Sealer: Penetrating type siloxane or fluoropolymer
  Cleaner: Natural Soap or Neutral pH detergent
  Finish: Polished - liquid Paste wax ; others: none

  Notes: Polished marble is ideal for vertical application but requires a high level of maintenance when used as flooring especially in high traffic situations. Non-reflective finishes perform well as flooring with minimal maintenance once treated with recommended sealers. Kitchen use should be carefully evaluated due to oil absorption.

  Limestone
  Composition: Calcite, Calcium Carbonate
  Hardness : Soft
  Absorption : Oil, Water
  Limitations : Absorbs oils and other liquids, easily scratched, acid sensitive, polished-interior use only
  Sealer : Penetrating type siloxane/fluoropolymer
  Cleaner: Natural Soap or Neutral pH detergent
  Finish: Polished - liquid Paste wax ; others: none

  Notes: Most true limestone types are porous and absorbent. Some limestone is semi-metamorphic and will have physical properties similar to metamorphic marble. If the limestone is metamorphic it is "Marble". For our purposes here, LIMESTONE is the chalky porous type typical of most French and Spanish limestone. Non-reflective finishes are practical as flooring but require sealing to minimize stains. Dense, low absorbent varieties of limestone can be suitable in shower areas but beware of using too soft a limestone in high stress areas. Sealing is normally recommended for both interior and exterior locations.
 


  Granite
  Composition: Quartz, Feldspar (varies)
  Hardness : Hard
  Absorption : Varies - Oil, Water
  Limitations : Absorbs oils and other liquids, brittle
  Sealer : Sub-surface repellents - oil repellent type recommended
  Cleaner: Neutral pH detergent or pure soap
  Finish: None Normally - Wax OK

  Notes: Granite is typical for kitchen counter use. Sealing is recommended for most stones. Granite is the hardest of the polished stones commercially available and is used in high stress situations. Polished granite usually is more absorbent to liquids than many people suppose. Flamed granite surfaces are very absorbent due to the stress fractures in the stone caused by the flaming process and should be sealed if it is desired to maintain the original color and appearance of the stone over time.

  Slate
  Composition: Muscovite Chlorite (wide variation in composition)
  Hardness : Soft - easily scratched
  Absorption : Low - medium oil, water other liquids
  Limitations : Absorbs oils/ liquids, cleft planes can spall
  Sealer : Sub-surface repellents oil repellent type recommended
  Cleaner: Neutral pH detergent or pure soap
  Finish: Acrylic OK - wax OK

  Notes: Cleft slate is very durable in most situations but quality varies. Slate is typically rustic in appearance but some milled or smooth products are available in some varieties. Wear is typically taken on the peaks or high spots of the textured surface. Acrylics are used when a highly reflective finish is desired. Excellent exterior paving stone. Higher absorbency varieties may not be suitable for exterior areas in freezing climates.

  Slate characteristics vary with source. Domestic is typically black, green or mottled (Pennsylvania) and is relatively dense. Many imported slates are available today with wide ranging physical characteristics and overall suitability. Evaluate your stone for density, tensile strength, absorbency and abrasion resistance. Make sure your slate characteristics are compatible with the intended function.

SPIRAL STAIR DECORATED WITH MARBLE

  Nowadays, it is more and more popular to apply the spiral stair in the public areas, as well as at home, especially the marble spiral stair, but the processing of spiral stair is very difficult. Stylist should give full consideration to design more scientific and accuracy, it is also necessary for them to consider the announcements that the stair design in daily life.




  1. Practical applicability, it is mainly convenient to walk, such as the step height of the stair, which will directly influence the walking convenience in the proportion between the steps.

  2, Decoration, apart from the walking, the spiral stair also have the adornment effect, the design of stair is also directly can foil the surrounding environment)

  3, Geomancy, everyone has reached a certain satisfaction nowadays, but it is not enough on spiritual, and the geomancy is the pillar of everybody in the spirit.

ON CRISES IN STONE INDUSTRY

  The demand of stone market appears differentiation, high grade and high quality material is n great demand. With the rise of decoration industry, people for the understanding of the stone material is also more and more deep, meanwhile the requirements are gradually increasing, this have driven the high grade stone material gradually become the mainstream of the market, and become the darling of the stone market. All infrastructure and key project for the demand of the high-grade stone material is rising, parts of high quality stone material appear gaps in some areas, and cause the import of stone greatly increased, which mainly used for the relief of imported variety, the products is mainly for the joint venture enterprise and more high-grade public buildings.




  At present, our country stone market has become an important role in the international stone market. Based on the current trends, the production of the world stone material and trade center will turn from Europe to our country in the near future. In the international market, the increasing speed of the stone products is even faster than the world economic growth. The prospect of the stone market is great. Small city and developed areas of the rural will be the hotspot of the stone market consumption. With the increasing of the construction levels in small town, especially the new rural, the investment of construction is also increasing. There is no doubt that the potential of the stone market is huge. The stone decoration has become the hot spots of a rural family adornment. It is reported that more than half of residence decorate in small city in our country select natural stone.




  But for our domestic affairs, the enterprise can only use a lot of cheap labor to fill the skilled holes with the backward condition of the production process. This will not only make the benefits of enterprise shrink, but also indirectly cause a series of problems, like the product quality, product maintenance and so on. Then leading to the bottleneck of this industry and bring the risk for the field and the enterprise. Facing the current various circumstances, stone material enterprise should try to improve the production technology, and strengthen the development application of the new products, new arts and crafts and try to improve the added value of the products, and there is no doubt that you will win a wider development business opportunities.

THE INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN BLACK GRANITE

  American Black Granite panel is also called Gem Mist, Ebony Mist granite , Jet Mist, the origin quarry is in USA. If you know about the Jet Mist Virginia, Academy -black granite-, Impala Black South Africa, you won’t be strange with this type of panel, since they are similar.

    

   Formed billions of years ago in the fiery core of the earth, American Black granite is one of the most durable and hardest of alls. Studies have shown the weathering of polished granite, when used outdoors to be about 0.125" per 1,000 years. Ancient Egyptian sculptures in granite still have their polish, some 3,000 years later.

  
  American Black granite panels bring a naturally high end quality and feel to any project. American Black granite is prized for exterior cladding, wall panels,s, water features, or wherever a long lasting and beautiful material is needed. American Black granite is scratch resistant, weather resistant and sanitary. Combining the ageless beauty of American Black granite with modern technology, the panels will make granite easy to work with.

  If you like the rich and classical look, then this type of black granite would be an ideal option. Meanwhile, this granite is inherently valued as a mark of stability and the extremely low absorption rate.

GRANITE COUNTERTOPS PRICES

  Granite kitchen countertops are one of the most beautiful countertops available in the world, but many people are very hesitant to purchase them. What they thinking about is the granite pricing though they know granite countertop will look good in their home, Granite countertops are one of the most expensive countertops and some people are concerned about spending much money for a countertop surface.
 
 

    There are a variety of reasons why granite countertops are more expensive than other countertop materials. Granite cannot be manufactured and has to be pulled out of the ground or stone quarry by qualified personnel, which adds to the stone cost. Granite is also very hard, resulting in durability for the homeowner but making it harder for the manufacturer to shape the stone to the dimensions of the countertop. The stone must also be polished and sealed properly to protect the stone from outside elements and bring out the shine that granite is known for.

  Granite countertops are very durable and long lasting, which also results in a higher price for the finished product. These countertops very rarely need to be replaced and have been known to last through several generations of homeowners without sustaining any significant damage or succumbing to the effects of age. Because retailers know that you will probably only purchase one of these countertops for the duration of the time that you live in the home, they are determined to get their money's worth from every granite countertop purchase.

  Granite pricing depends on many different factors. One factor is the granite quality, which can differ from manufacturer to manufacturer depending on where they have obtained the granite. Granite pricing from some areas of the world is more highly prized than from other areas and the granite pricing will reflect the area where the granite was mined.
 
Silver Green Onyx

   Another item that will affect the granite pricing is whether the countertop will be constructed out of granite slabs or granite tiles. Granite slabs are more expensive because they are solid granite all the way through while granite tiles are cut to a thickness that will ensure that the overall strength of the granite remains and then adhered to a countertop form using a strong epoxy.

  The last factor that may affect granite pricing is the color and pattern of the granite. Granite that is more colorful and has more brilliant flecks contained within it will be more expensive than granite that is monotone and dull. Certain color combinations, such as pink and grey or black and white, are more expensive because they are the hardest to find in sufficient quantities to create a large number of countertops.

THE SKILLS OF ARTIFICIAL STONE INSTALLATION

  Advantages of artificial stone is its durability, weight and easy installation, however, do you known how to it? If no, the following installation guide would be helpful.
 

   1) Before application lay stone tiles on the floor and create a pattern. Mix stones from different boxes, stone tiles are handmade, shades may slightly vary.

  2) Start application from the bottom line. If you use corner elements start with them, alternate long and short legs of corner pieces in opposite directions. Vertical!

  3) Cover back of the stone with glue, not more than 6mm thick. Press firmly to the surface to ensure good bond. Make sure that a little mortar squeezes to the sides of the stone, to ensure good lateral bond.

  4) Some stone pieces may need to be cut and shaped to fit the gaps. Cut stone pieces with circular saw, or nippers. For completion cover with mortar any cut or broken edges.

  5) If you use stone which requires joint grouting, follows the recommendations of grout manufacturer to prepare it. Grout joints with mortar using a grout bag. After about 30-60 minutes when mortar has become brittle, mortar smears should be removed using a dry stiff brush or whiskbroom.

  6) Use good quality elastic tile glue, when needed glue should be resistant or heat or cold.

  7) Places where stone is applied should be protected from rain until glue is fully dried.

  8) Stone should not be installed when rains and weather temperature is less than +5 C

THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF DOMESTIC MARBLE BLOCKS

  World marble rich in mineral resources , only exists on the local or varieties of insufficient resources . World major marble producing countries Italy, China , Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, the Philippines , France, Brazil , the United States , India, Austria, Russia and Japan . Resource-rich Italian marble , fine texture , widely distributed , mining history, mining and processing of advanced technology, is the world's most powerful marble resources and producing countries , exports accounted for about half of total trade international market , the " Card December December white " marble in the world , known for fine marble varieties.
  
Portoro

  Chinese marble rich in resources, color variety . As of end of 1996, producing a total of 165 marble , reserves 1.084 billion m3, of which A + B + C class reserves of 422 million m3.

  In the past, China's long-term not as a separate marble mineral resources be attached to the geological survey work base is weak, nearly 10 years as the market demand and geological survey work unfolded, reserves increased rapidly, but there are a lot of resources without geological survey work , no proved reserves ; exploration and mining areas that have not been on in a lot of development . According to the "96 China Mineral Resource Report" forecasts that total resources of the country up to 20 billion marble m3, current proven reserves account for only 5% of total resources .

  China marble mineral only in the economically developed eastern coastal regions and the geological survey has invested more work due to the overall mineralization conditions are good , although the low level of exploration in the past , so in the future according to market demand , as long as the appropriate inputs , reserve growth potential greatly.
 

   Second, the geographic distribution

  China marble mineral lands in 26 provinces , autonomous regions and municipalities are distributed, more balanced , only the relatively poor northeastern region of proved reserves , accounting for 2.1% of the country's total reserves ; South Central proved reserves most of the country's total reserves of 33.2 % . Richest provinces of Guangdong, Hebei , Guangxi provinces ( district ) each have reserves of over 100 million m3; Shaanxi reserves of more than 90 million m3; Sichuan, Beijing , Jiangsu, Zhejiang , Henan, Anhui, Guizhou seven each province has reserves are more than 30 million m3.

  According to the National Commission on Mineral Reserves criteria for the classification scale deposits , marble deposits greater than 10 million m3 for large , 200 to 10 million m3 of medium-sized , less than 2 million m3 for small . China's existing medium-sized marble mineral mainly in Beijing , Hebei, Jiangsu, Shaanxi , Zhejiang, Anhui , Sichuan, Hunan , Jiangxi, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places .




  Third, the characteristics of resources

  ( A ) color than the whole, wide variety, has formed a series
  China has been found in more than 400 varieties of marble major , even Italy marble industrially developed countries in this regard can not be compared . The trade numbers , you can bulk exports have more than 100 kinds of marble .

  A variety of colors , patterns , marble has formed a series , white, black , red, gray, green , yellow, pink , color and taste. Patterns are cloudy, landscapes shaped , threaded , willow , star porphyritic and rare fossils patterned so on everything .

  ( Two ) quality is better, the vast majority of the market selling Chinese marble varieties of good quality , fine texture, elegant colors , beautiful patterns , gloss , decorative performance, performance can meet the relevant standards . Many varieties in the domestic market welcomed by the users , has a certain reputation . Such as white series of the Beijing Fangshan, Hebei Quyang "white marble " Baoxing of the " Shu white " , Yunnan Dali " Cangshan white" , Yunnan Yuanyang " Yuanyang crystal white ", Shandong Laizhou " Snow White "and so on ; black series have Bijie " Crystal Moyu " Hunan bimodal " Twin Peaks black " , etc. ; red series , Anhui Lingbi " red Anhui Lo " , NANJIANG of the" South River red " , Liaoning Tieling " Tieling red" , Hebei Laishui " laishui red" , etc. ; gray series of Zhejiang Hangzhou " hang Grey " Dali "cloud gray ", Shandong Laizhou " of ash" , etc. ; green series Dandong in Liaoning " Dandong green ", Shandong Laiyang " Laiyang green " , Henan Lushan 's " Lushan green " , etc. ; yellow series Henan Xichuan " rosin yellow ", " beige " , Guangxi statewide " wood yellow " , etc. ; flesh there Jiangsu Yixing " red butter "," white butter " , Guiyang 's " pattern fat butter "and so on . With beautiful pattern known varieties in Hubei Huangshi , " fragrant ", " turtle bi ", " Jin Huang ," Beijing Fangshan " Ai Ye ," Dali "cloud flower" , Shaanxi Tongguan " Jade Dragon " , Shanxi wenxi of the " waves ", " autumn ", etc.
  

  ( Three ) Proved Reserves stone varieties to mid-range , high-grade less like " marble ", " Dandong green ", " Rosin yellow" and other famous welcomed by merchants , but due to less reserves , mining for a long time , has been difficult in large quantities mined. Especially in international markets sold briskly white , pure black , light-colored marble resources in terms of quantity , the quality is still inadequate.

  ( Four ) parts quality marble deposits in remote mountainous areas, there are great difficulties in the current development of southwest China there are many high-quality marble deposits, but in remote mountainous areas, high mountains, dangerous mining conditions are poor , especially transport costs over high in the short term is difficult to scale development . Clouds Nanfu Gong 's " snow Chui ," Yuanyang " Yuanyang crystal white ", " Yuanyang Ice " Pingbian " Pingbian white" ; Sichuan asbestos " white asbestos ," Oscar 's " marble " , etc. .
