II. Marble is divided into three categories:

Dolomite: magnesite (calcium magnesium carbonate) content of more than 40%

Magnesium peridot: magnesite (calcium magnesium carbonate) content of between 5% and 40%.

Calcite: magnesite (calcium magnesium carbonate) content of less than 5%

In addition to the above commonly used marble color varieties, there is the famous Yunnan Dali In addition to the above commonly used marble varieties, there is also the famous Yunnan Dali marble, they are fine, glossy, soft, colorful, and now there are three main mining:

Cloud gray marble: cloud gray or cloud gray on the bottom surface of some natural cloud-like patterns. Looks like green clouds straight up, or dark clouds rolling, or floating clouds in the sky ....... Some patterns are like water ripples, or ripples, or waves, or waves of smoke ....... This type of stone is commonly used as architectural veneer materials.

White marble: crystal pure, white as jade, smoke and light. It is a good plate for carving and painting, and can also be made into beautiful architectural panels.

Colorful marble: marble in the boutique, after grinding, polishing, will show colorful, colorful natural pictures, rare in the world. According to its pattern, color, color marble is divided into "green flowers" (green, dark green pattern, pattern green, like the spring scenery), "autumn flowers" (yellow, brown, red pattern, pattern such as autumn scenery) "Ink flowers" (black, light black pattern, the pattern is like a beautiful ink painting, as if out of - from - the wonderful brushwork). They are often made into painting screens, flower pots, table tops, desk ornaments and other decorative items.

(I) craft classification

Marble is represented by marble as a class of rocks, including carbonate rocks and related metamorphic rocks, relative to granite is generally softer. Common rocks are marble, limestone, dolomite, yucca rock and so on. Marble varieties divided into different naming principles, some named after the origin and color, such as Dandong green, Tieling red, etc.; some named after the pattern and color, such as snowflake white, aiye green; some named after the image of the pattern, such as the autumn scenery, sea waves; some are traditional names, such as alabaster, crystal ink jade and so on. Therefore, due to different places of origin often have the same kind of different names or different rocks with the same name phenomenon.

China's production of marble according to the basic color of its polished surface, can be roughly divided into white, yellow, green, gray, red, coffee, black seven series. Each series can be divided into a number of subclasses according to the color and pattern characteristics of its polished surface, such as: alabaster, rosin yellow, Dandong green, Hangzhou gray and so on. Marble pattern, crystallization granularity of coarse and fine variations, there are landscape type, cloud type, pattern type (thread, willow leaf, text like, paleontology, etc.), snowflake type, and so on. Modern architecture is colorful and ever-changing, therefore, the decorative marble also requires more varieties, more color, can be used for different parts of the building. General requirements for monochrome marble color uniformity; color marble requires pattern, depth and gradual transition; patterned marble requires clear patterns, distinctive color, pattern regularity. In short, the color is beautiful, easy to decorate a large area splicing, can be the same color batch supply is good. China's marble process classification see Table 4.25.1.

(ii) Mineral composition and main features

The mineral composition and ore characteristics of marble are directly related to the performance of its products and decorative effect.

(3) Chemical composition and physical properties

The chemical composition of marble on its ability to be utilized, generally does not play a major role, but can directly illustrate the lithology, and indirectly affect the physical and chemical properties of marble processability, weathering and corrosion-resistant evaluation of some significance.

The physical properties of marble is an important indicator to determine its processability, but also the use of performance, the use of the scope of the important reference according to.

China's marble mineral resources are extremely rich, large reserves, varieties, the total reserves in the world. According to incomplete statistics, the preliminary identification of domestic marble has nearly 400 varieties, of which the color varieties are more expensive are as follows.
