Marble analysis, 4773
White marble
Marble origin: Paros (Paros-Choriodaki) (Greece)
Mineralogy: calcite
Texture: heteroblastic
Maximum grain size (MGS): 1.16 mm
δ18OV-PDB: -3.04 ‰
δ13CV-PDB: 3.35 ‰
Cathodoluminescence color: brown-pink
Cathodoluminescence intensity: weak
Cathodoluminescence distribution: homogeneous
Stable isotope data fall in a zone where different source areas (i.e. Paros, Thasos, Marmara, Afyon) overlap and the data are inconclusive. The cathodomicrofacies, the MGS and the texture show that this marble originates from Paros.
