Description

Rainforest Green Marble Slabs

Rainforest Green Marble, a.k.a. Bidasar Green Marble, is a light-to-medium green, heavily veined Serpentinite with dark brown veins. In the global market, it is nominated as marble. Still, it is nominated as Serpentinite around the application of the European Standard.

Rainforest Green Marble veining and colour vary considerably, and a small sample of Rainforest Green Marble may not represent the whole slab. Therefore, swatch samples must be approved for large projects to ensure that the blocks are all extracted from the same quarry face for matching purposes.

During the polishing process, a clear epoxy resin filler can fill any micro fissures or tiny pits. However, this does not affect the integrity of the stone. It merely provides an even smoother surface finish. Rainforest Green Marble is ideal for interior and exterior use; the polish is only constant inside. Stone Discover is one of the largest exporters of this stone.

Products: Suitable for construction projects, both commercial and domestic, prefabricated countertops/worktops, vanities, tiles, backsplashes, paving, fireplaces, and memorials.

Surface Finish: Rainforest Green Marble looks best with a gloss polished surface but is also available as honed, leather/satin, river-washed/antique, thermal/flamed, brushed, and sandblast finish.

Sealing: Test with a small sample. It is possible that a sealant can be used on Rainforest Green; however, excessive attempts at sealing it could create a residue film build-up.

Block Sizes: This is a quarry yielding selectable grades of marble with blocks suitable for gangsaw size down to economical tile-sized blocks. For commercial projects, it is important to ensure that blocks are selected from the same quarry face.

Stone Discover usually exports rough blocks; however, intermodal containerization is available at extra cost. Finished products are packed into sea-worthy wooden crates and loaded into containers.

Quarry Location: Rainforest Green Marble is quarried near Bidasar, Rajasthan, India. Several quarries of Rainforest Green Marble all are varying in shade and veining.

Marble: A metamorphosed limestone composed of very pure calcium carbonate, CaCO3. The softness of marble and its relative isotropy and homogeneity make it desirable for sculpture and building stone. Although marble comes from limestone, the temperatures, and pressures necessary to form marble usually destroy any fossils that may have been present in the limestone.

Marble derives its name from the Greek marmaros, a shining stone. [source: OED2]. This stem is also the basis for the English word marmoreal, meaning “marble-like .”In folklore, marble is associated with the astrological sign of Gemini. Pure white marble is an emblem of purity. It is also an emblem of immortality and an ensurer of success in education.

Serpentine: Any of a group of hydrous magnesium-rich silicate minerals. The composition of these common rock-forming minerals approximates Mg3Si2O5(OH)4.

Serpentinite is a rock composed of one or more serpentine group minerals. Minerals in this group are formed by serpentinization, a hydration and metamorphic transformation of ultramafic rock from the Earth’s mantle.
