Marble Product
Marble is an extremely versatile material that is prized for its beauty and durability on many different surfaces. It does however, require a modest amount of care to protect it against staining, scratching and loss of surface polish.
Granite Jacuzzi
In the bathroom, granite gives a sumptuous, luxurious feel. It is often used to surround Jacuzzi tubs or framed Roman tubs. And the feeling of being immersed in water and wrapped in polished stone is second-to-none.
Marbles
In Chhotanagpur area, there are deposits of at least five different colours of marble. On the basis of variation in colour and design, there will be many sub varieties of the main five varieties.
Marble Bathroom
Marble and granite can be used in the bathroom from a simple one piece vanity top for the hand basin. to a complete bathroom.
Kitchen Countertop
When you choose your countertop, select a color and texture that compliments your cabinetry, floor or paint selection. Don't be afraid to combine two or more countertop materials in one kitchen.
Vanity tops
Granite lends itself to a variety of locations in traditional and modern houses for hallways,stairways, living areas, bathrooms and particularly, work surfaces such as kitchen tops and vanity tops.
Marble Tile
Installing marble tiles is similar to working with ceramic tiles. However, the subsurface should be as rigid as possible to reduce the risk of cracking from vibration or flexing.

The Chemical Signatures of Granites

Granite chemistry underwent a revolution in the 1980s. Distinctive patterns in major and trace-element compositions were recognized and categorized in such a way that the likely source materials and tectonic environments of granite magmas could be discriminated. Despite the relative ease and reliability with which granite provenance can now be ascertained, the causes of those patterns have not been identified except in the most general ways. Moreover, evolved granites and pegmatites accentuate those trace element signatures, but these are highly modified by fractional crystallization. ...

The Chemical Signatures of Granites

At the pegmatitic stage, some elements that exist in the ppm range at the source become sufficiently concentrated to precipitate minerals of their own, e.g., as spodumene (Li), beryl (Be), pollucite, (Cs), cassiterite (Sn), and tantalite (Ta). Using melting relations and element partitioning, then, we can predict the concentration of a particular trace element at the beginning of granite magmatism and at the end pegmatitic stage (e.g., London et al., 1999). This allows us to model and answer an important and recurring question in the relations between granites and pegmatites how much crystal fractionation must take place from anatexis to produce a pegmatite capable of precipitating spodumene, ...
