(2) Physical properties
Properties Parameters
Mohs hardness 3-4 (softer, suitable for interior decoration)
Density 2.6-2.8 g/cm³
Compressive strength 80-120 MPa
Water absorption 0.1%-0.3% (lower, but still needs protection)
Acid and alkali resistance Poor (avoid acidic cleaners)
Main production areas
Guangxi Silver Dragon marble is mainly produced from:
Hezhou City (China's "Marble Capital", rich reserves, best quality)
