Raw granite blocks are extracted by from the mother rock using advance diamond wire saw. Therefore, the raw blocks internal cracks phenomenon has been minimized. All the raw blocks output in big sizes with fine square shape and the minimum sizes from are 3 m3 and above.
There are no specifications to determine quality of dimension stone as it depends on individualÆs taste and preference. However, most would agree that good quality dimension stone should possess the following qualities:
Attractive colors
Uniformity in color and texture
Free from flaws
Can be polished easily
Hard and can withstand friction and abrasion
Free from close spacing joints
Specification
1 water absorption 0.09%
2 specific gravity 2.86
3 compressive strength 234 n/mm2
4 modulus of rupture 32 n/mm2
5 flexural strength 29 n/mm2
6 abrasion resistance 28 ha
All in big raw blocks, above 3 m3; cut from big mother rock, output in fine square shape
