In its pure form, marble is a white stone with a crystalline and sugary appearance, consisting of calcium carbonate CaCO3. Usually, marble contains other minerals, including quartz, graphite, pyrite, and iron oxides. It is used for its chemical properties in pharmaceuticals and agriculture.
It is used for its optical properties in cosmetics, paint, and paper.
They are used as Industrial Raw Materials with other industrial raw material products such as Silica Flour, Limestone, Aggregate, Quicklime, Talc, Volcanic Rock and Abrasives.
Naxos marble, also known as Naxian Marble, is known for its excellent quality characteristics. Its colour varies from white, off-white to very dark grey. It is mined on the Cycladic island of Naxos, famous for its long tradition in marble quarrying. It has been used in many types of projects in Greece and abroad, of high requirements and specifications, but also in more common and commercial applications.
