Grey Color Vargas Marble Slabs

Vargas Marble is one of the stone industry's most elegant export marbles — a dense, fine-grained metamorphic stone quarried from rich, ancient geological formations. Its hallmark is a sophisticated, cool grey and light ash-silver backdrop intricately threaded with crisp white calcite veining, subtle charcoal linear movement, and soft cloudy undertones that create a refined, high-contrast modern aesthetic. Formed under immense tectonic pressure and thermal metamorphic conditions over millions of years, Vargas Marble is classified among the most structurally resilient and visually versatile natural marbles commercially available, offering outstanding dimensional stability and low porosity. Its exceptional polish retention, neutral chromatic elegance, and uniform structural density make it the marble of choice for luxury commercial foyers, modern residential flooring, feature wall cladding, and premium bathroom vanity fabrications worldwide.

General Specifications

• Category: Marble Natural Stone
• Color: Refined silver-grey to mid-ash backdrop accented by sharp white calcite veins, slate-grey undertones, and delicate linear patterns
• Surface Finish Available: Polished / Honed / Leathered / Brushed / Rough Block
• Block Form: Raw Quarry Block / Gangsaw Block
• Texture: Fine-grained, micro-crystalline structure; achieves a high-luster, glass-like reflective surface; solid natural structure on raw blocks
• Density: 2.67 – 2.73 g/cm³ (High material density; excellent structural compactness)
• Water Absorption: < 0.19% (Low absorption rate — highly resistant to moisture penetration and surface staining)

Processing & Machinery Assessment

GANGSAW & MULTI-WIRE SAW SUITABILITY

This block has been assessed as fully compatible with modern marble gangsaw and diamond multi-wire saw processing machinery. Standard block dimensions of L-280 cm × B-165 cm × H-150 cm fall directly within the sweet spot for high-yield, low-waste slab production. Vargas Marble's uniform crystalline composition, lack of directional stress fractures, and consistent physical hardness throughout ensure smooth, low-vibration sawing, making it an exceptional candidate for precision large-format slab manufacturing and book-matching projects.

• Recommended Processing: Gangsaw or multi-wire saw slabs (1.8 cm & 2 cm), followed by surface resin grid reinforcement, calibration, and high-gloss polishing or matte honing
• Expected Slab Yield: Approximately 78–88 slabs per block (based on 1.8 cm slab thickness)
• Finish/Polish Result: Luminous, mirror-like finish that brings out a velvety, modern grey depth while highlighting its crisp white vein contrast
