Silver Green Onyx Countertops

 

  　　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.

 　　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 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 .
