Mining
from 10 Quarries
Eastern Mahyar mine
Mucchia Black stone, similar to other building stones, is sourced from mines in the form of blocks or slabs and then transported to stone processing facilities for various treatments, including cutting into different dimensions. Presently, one prevalent method of cutting this stone is in slab form, as it accentuates its beauty. Particularly, from the slabs of black marble stones, stunning bookmatches and fourmatches can be created, showcasing their veined characteristics. The stones are processed in a manner that involves taking precautionary steps to prevent the stone block from breaking before undergoing cutting machine procedures and enhancing the stone's durability. Additional operations include installing mesh behind the stone, filling the pores with epoxy, and utilizing UV technology for waterproofing and preventing the reaction of veins with water. Based on the data presented in the table, the density of this stone is around 2.69 tons per cubic meter. Furthermore, its compressive strength ranges from 66.01-83.75 megapascals in parallel to the bedding and from 96.44-119.50 megapascals perpendicular to the bedding.ث
Laibid Crystal quarry
Abarkoh Travertine quarry
Abarkooh travertine exhibits a high level of durability and moderate resistance to compression, making it well-suited for building facades and a variety of construction uses. Its porous quality, natural faults, and abundant cavities contribute to its lighter weight compared to other travertine varieties. During the processing stage, these voids are filled with resin and epoxy to enhance the stone's visual appeal, strength, and adhesion. This stone has a specific weight of around 2.5 tons per cubic meter. Moreover, its compressive strength ranges between 37.04- 44.42 MPa in parallel orientation to the layers and 41.58- 48.86 MPa in perpendicular orientation. Abarkooh travertine finds widespread application in external building facades, Roman and Classical architectural styles, interior design, courtyards, parking walls, decorative stone items, hallways, and various other architectural projects
