Guide to Iranian materials

Chahmorghi · Dehbid

Dehbid cream marble

Chahmorghi quarry is in the Dehbid district of Fars province. The producer describes cream-coloured stone. Dehbid identifies an area: keep the quarry and batch names when selecting material.

Shayan

Shayan cream marble

The quarry website places Shayan in Bavanat, Fars province. It is a source of Iranian cream marble. This guide retains the producer’s stated location, distinguishing it from the Dehbid name often used in trade.

Persian Silk · Emperador Silk

Grey marble

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.

Scatto & Bianco · Pirtak quarry site

White crystalline marble with a breccia-like pattern

MAMSALEH presents Scatto & Bianco as white crystalline stone from Aligoodarz, Lorestan, and identifies its quarry site with the Pirtak office. Source photographs show a network of grey veins. A breccia-like pattern alone does not establish a petrographic classification.

Shah Maleki · Harsin

Light Harsin marble

The supplier’s listing identifies Shah Maleki Harsin and locates the quarry in Harsin, Kermanshah province. This is a producer’s commercial source; the Harsin name does not automatically identify every light block from the region.

Lashotor · Pietra Grey

Lashotor grey marble

Lashotor, also known as Pietra Grey, comes from the Isfahan area. It has a dark grey background crossed by white veins. Rana Stone documents its quarry in the Lashotor district: the material name refers to an area with several quarries, not a single operator.

Silver Stream

Silver Stream marble

Silver Stream is listed in the Mashhad area, Razavi Khorasan, based on information supplied by Reza Molai. Silver Stream is the material’s trade name; the specific quarry name is not listed. The map marks Mashhad, not the quarry entrance.

Dehbid and Shayan: area, quarry and trade name

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.

Breccias: reading the pattern and documenting origin

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.

Comparing cream, grey and crystalline white selections

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.
