Sample consists of calcite crystals (shattered by cataclastic means) of sizes varying between 40-300 microns and crystals showing pressure twinning of sizes 500-750 microns
Afyon Tigerskin is a Marble quarried in Turkey, catalogued in the Marmi di Carrara atlas under the international reference ICTRMA00224. Its dominant tone is white, with a brecciated texture.
Like every marble, it is supplied as raw blocks, gangsaw slabs in 2 and 3 cm and cut-to-size pieces made in our Carrara plants. Recommended finishes: polished, honed, brushed, sandblasted, bush-hammered (exterior). Typical applications: interior floors and walls, bathrooms, vanity tops, stairs, fireplaces, furniture and sculpture.
Availability varies with the quarry campaigns: before quoting we check current stock, block sizes and the selection grade, and we send photos of the actual slabs. Price and transport are confirmed by our technical office within one working day.
