Areas, quarries and materials. A documented guide to Iranian marbles and breccias.
From the area of origin to the quarry, from material names to further reading.
BMFG identifies Neyriz, Fars, as the location of Persian Silk quarry, also called Emperador Silk. The producer describes light and dark grey selections. These are two material names in the cited source, not two separate quarries.
To compare a supply: identify quarry and batch, check usable dimensions and compare samples with the same finish. Physical tests must refer to the selected stone.
An offer is easier to read when three levels are distinguished: area of origin, quarry name and trade name. Chahmorghi is documented in Dehbid district; Shayan’s official website identifies Bavanat. Both are in Fars.
Read article ↗Breccia contains angular fragments held in a matrix or cement. The USGS example at Titus Canyon shows limestone pieces cemented by calcite: it explains the structure, not an Iranian quarry.
Read article ↗This guide brings together different appearances: Chahmorghi and Shayan cream stone, Persian Silk greys and Scatto & Bianco crystalline white. These names guide research; the quarry profiles document the producer’s stated origin.
Read article ↗Documented quarries are not an availability list. Each block’s origin must be confirmed in its record.
