Red Onyx

Description

Bavanat red marble code N440078 with light red color is one of the most widely used marble stones. Marble, which is one of the most widely used building stones, is a calcareous and metamorphic stone with a specific gravity higher than limestone, which is considered as a soft stone and has a very good polish after polishing. Marble stones, due to their various colors and textures, provide unique possibilities for designers to create designs and forms. Among the most important marble stones of Iran, we can mention Dehbid, Kashmar, Abadeh, Bavanat, Gandmak, Bajestan, Khoy, Harsin, Urmia and Bastam stones

Due to their impurities, these popular building stones have a wide range of colors from light to dark colors such as white, red, cream, brown, pink, black, mustard, green, etc. Pure marble has a bright white color. Light gray to black with carbonaceous material, green usually with chlorite or other silicates, pink and red due to the presence of very fine particles of hematite or manganese carbonate, and yellow and cream due to the presence of limonite. In general, marbles do not have high strength. These stones have a special acceptance for execution on the floor of residential units

Marble stones generally have a very high water absorption due to their calcareous nature. Therefore, the use of this type of stone in places such as bathrooms, kitchens and bathrooms is not recommended. Also, this type of stone is weaker than travertine against natural factors such as rain, cold, heat and weathering, and therefore the use of marble in the exterior of the building and places that are subject to constant shrinkage and expansion is not recommended

Marble deposits

It should be noted that the total marble reserves in Iran reach more than 165 million tons. Another important country is the producer of Italian marble. The most important provinces producing marble in Central Iran are Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Isfahan and Kurdistan
