White marble
Marble origin: unknown
Mineralogy: calcite
Texture: heteroblastic
Maximum grain size (MGS): 1.63 mm
δ18OV-PDB: -7.03 ‰ -5.06 ‰ -5.54 ‰
δ13CV-PDB: 4.32 ‰ 5.21 ‰ 5.07 ‰
Cathodoluminescence color: blue and light pink

Cathodoluminescence distribution: heterogeneous
The isotopic signature is situated in the Ephesos marble field. The lack of reference material from this place in our cathodomicrofacies data bank does not allow to infer an ephesian origin.
