E Grades of Marble First classification is based on the marble colour: Green, White or Black

There are 4 classifications of marbles. Class A, being the most resistant to breakage and having the least amount of natural inclusions, veins, and inconstancies, Class B, Class C, and finally Class D, which is the most likely to break because of the above reasons. Normally, the class A materials are more consistent looking while the Class D marbles are more ornate. Class marbles would usually be harder and denser, while Class D marbles would be softer and more porous. Marble Institute of America (MIA) Marble Classification The Marble Institute of America (MIA) has set up a grading system for stones distributed as marble and or limestone in the mercantile sense. This classification system pertains to working soundness or the level of difficulty that the fabricator and/or installer will likely experience during fabrication and installation of the stone ; once properly installed the soundness of the stone only affects the visual appearance or aesthetics, not structural integrity. The MIA classification for soundness of A, B, C and D are replicated below along with notes added in italics by ICM: Soundness Group A - Sound marbles with uniform and favorable working qualities: containing few geological flaws or voids. Veining sometimes looks muted or subtle rather than sharp or dramatic. Marbles in this classification are often not perceived as being as colorful or aesthetically appealing as the other classifications. Examples are Carrara, Botticino and Madhave. Soundness Group B - Marbles similar in character to the preceding group; but with less favorable working qualities; may have natural faults and/or dry veins (3); a limited amount of waxing (1), sticking (2) and filling may be required. Micro to medium levels of fissures and some areas of pitting. Soundness Group C - Marbles with some variation in working qualities; geological flaws, voids, veins and lines of separation are common. It is standard practice to repair these variations by one or more of several methods waxing (1), sticking (2), filling or cementing. Liners and other forms of reinforcement are used when necessary. Increased occurrences of micro to medium levels of fissures and areas of pitting as well as dry veins (3). Marbles in this classification will have a greater amount of waxing (1), sticking (2), filling or cementing than marbles in the preceding groups. Repairs may originate at the factory which cuts the blocks into slabs and polishes the face (factory repair) or at the fabrication facility. In an effort to improve the perceived appearance of these stones, ICM frequently chips out the factory repair and fills the resulting void with chips of the actual stone and then cements them in with polyester and/or epoxy. It is very probable that the repaired area will not have the same luster or shininess as the un-repaired areas. Examples are Empress Dark Green, Roman Classic Travertine and rarely Crma Marfil (4), Dark Emperador (4) or Rojo Alicante (4). Soundness Group D - Marbles similar to the preceding group, but containing a larger proportion of natural faults, maximum variations in working qualities, and requiring more of the same methods of finishing. This group comprises many of the highly colored marbles prized for their decorative

values. Because of substantial increased occurrences of micro to medium and/or even large levels of fissures, faults, dry veins (3) and areas of pitting, marbles in this classification will have a greater amount of waxing (1), sticking (2), filling or cementing than marbles in the preceding groups. Repairs may originate at the factory which cuts the blocks into slabs and polishes the face (factory repair) or at the fabrication facility. In an effort to improve the perceived appearance of these stones, ICM frequently chips out the factory repair and fills the resulting void with chips of the actual stone and then cements them in with polyester and/or epoxy. It is very probable that the repaired area will not have the same luster or shininess as the un-repaired areas. Examples are frequently Crma Marfil (4), Dark Emperador (4) and Rojo Alicante (4).

The world is rich in mineral resources, marble, only in some areas there are insufficient resources or species. The world's major marble producing countries, Italy, China, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, the Philippines, France, Brazil, the United States, India, Austria, Russia and Japan. Italian marble, rich in resources, good quality, widely distributed, mining history, mining and processing technology advanced, the world's most powerful resources of marble and producers, exports account for about half of the total trade volume of international markets, the card wax wax white marble good for the world known varieties of marble. Chinese marble, rich, color variety. As of the end of 1996, producing a total of 165 marble, to maintain reserves of 1.084 billion m3, of which A + B + C-class reserves of 422 million m3.

In the past, China's marble not as an independent mineral resource to be long-term importance, the basis of geological survey work is weak, nearly 10 years as the market demand and the commencement of geological survey work, reserves increased rapidly, but there are a lot of resources without geological survey work, no proven reserves; and exploration of mining areas that have not been on in a lot of development. According to 96 China Mineral Resources Report forecasts that the national total of up to 20 billion marble resources m3, the current proven reserves account for only 5% of total resources. Chinese marble mining only in the economically developed eastern and coastal areas into a more geological survey work, the whole forming conditions as well, although the low level of past exploration, so in the future based on market demand, as long as the appropriate input, the potential for reserves growth great. Second, the geographic distribution Chinese marble mining in 26 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities are distributed, more balanced, only proved reserves of relatively poor northeast region, accounting for 2.1% of total reserves; South District most proven reserves, the country's total reserves of 33.2 %. Most abundant in the provinces of Guangdong, Hebei and Guangxi provinces (regions) have reserves of more than 100 million m3; Shaanxi reserves more than 90 million m3; Sichuan, Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan, Anhui, Guizhou, seven The reserves are owned by the province more than 30 million m3. According to the National Commission on the deposits of mineral reserves, the size criteria for the classification of marble deposits in more than 10 million m3 is large, 200 to 10 million m3 of mediumsized, less than 200 million m3 is small. China's current and medium-sized marble mineral deposits mainly in Beijing, Hebei, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places. Third, the characteristics of resources (A) color than the whole, wide variety, has formed a series China is the main varieties of marble have been found more than 400, even though the Italian marble industry and other developed countries, in this regard can not be compared.The trade numbers can be exported to 100 kinds of marble. A variety of colors, patterns have formed a series of marble, white, black, red, gray, green, yellow, color, color and taste. Patterns are cloudy, like landscapes, thread, willow, star porphyritic and rare fossils and other patterns like everything. (B) the quality is better, the market selling the vast majority of Chinese varieties of good quality marble, fine texture, tone and elegant, beautiful patterns, gloss, decorative performance, performance can meet the relevant standards. Many species in the domestic market to gain in popularity, has a certain reputation. Such as the white line of the Beijing Fangshan, Quyang the white marble Baoxing the Shu white, Dali's Mountain White, Yunnan Yuanyang Yuan Yang Jing Bai, Laizhou snow white and so on; black family has Bijie crystal black jade , Hunan Twin Peaks Twin Peaks black and so on; red series have Anhui

Lingbi Red Wan Lo , the four southern Sichuan Jiang's South Red River , Liaoning Tieling Tieling Red, Hebei Laishui the Laishui Red; gray series of Hangzhou in Zhejiang, Hang Grey, Dali's gray cloud, Shandong Laizhou the gray bar, etc.; green series Dandong, Liaoning, Dandong green, Shandong Laiyang Laiyang Green, Henan Lushan's Lushan green; yellow series Henan Xichuan of rosin yellow, beige, the state of Guangxi wood yellow , etc.; flesh of a Yixing red cream , white butter , Guiyang, Guizhou's pattern fat butter and so on. The pattern known varieties of the beautiful, Huangshi, Hubei's fragrant, turtle bi, Jin Huang, Beijing Fangshan's Ai Ye, Dali's Cloud Flowers, Shaanxi Tongguan the Jade Dragon Shanxi Wenxi the waves, autumn and so on. (C) of proved reserves in the mid-stone varieties based, high-low, such as white marble, Dandong green, Rosin yellow and other famous by merchants welcome, but due to low stocks, mining for a long time, large quantities have been difficult mining. Especially on the international market salable white, pure black, light-colored marble resources in quantity and quality is still very inadequate. (D) of the high-quality marble deposits in the remote mountainous areas, there are greater difficulties in the current development in southwest China has many high-quality marble deposits, but in the remote mountainous areas, akin to finding dangerous, poor mining conditions, in particular transport costs over high in the short term is difficult to scale development. Clouds Nanfu Gong's snow Tsui, Yuanyang Yuan Yang Jing Bai, Ice Yuanyang Pingbian the Pingbian white; Sichuan asbestos white asbestos, Oscar's white marble, etc.

Warehousing charges For instance, if the marble block lands at Mundra or Kandla (the ports preferred by Rajasthan traders), the importer pays about Rs 1,500- 1,700 per tonne for transporting it to their warehouse. To transport it to Chennai then, the trader pays an additional Rs 2,800-Rs 3,000 per tonne. This causes the price of marble to rise by about Rs 30-40 per sq ft.
