MORE INFO

Due to its fine crystalline structure, which is barely larger than that of the Statuario Venato, the Ordinario is easy to beat. Fine finishes are possible. The crystal structure and its homogeneity make the marble very easy to polish.

PROCESSING

Ordinario can be worked very well by hand using forged steel chisels with a bevelled head (point chisels, claw chisels, flat chisels, etc.) in combination with an iron hammer. Softer marble can also be worked with forged steel rasps, harder marble with carbide rasps and diamond files. Marble can also be polished by hand to a high gloss finish. In the Italian sculpture workshops, marble is mainly worked with compressed air tools, which can be used to shape it very precisely. Polishing can also be done mechanically.

Sculptures made from Ordinario are particularly suitable for indoor installation. Depending on the nature of the Ordinario, it is also suitable for outdoor sculptures. If necessary, the stone should be treated with an impregnation.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Ordinario is a white-grey marble with graphite enrichments, which was formed over millions of years through metamorphosis from organic inclusions that run through the rock in the form of grey veins, speckles and clouds. It has a grain size of approx. 0.5 mm. Marble is a metamorphic rock that is around 140 million years old.

Ordinario is a very common type of marble and, like Statuario Venato, is quarried in the Apuan Alps near Carrara. Marble was formed 140 million years ago through the metamorphosis of limestone with organic inclusions (animal and plant remains). Pressure and high temperatures crystallised the limestone into marble in deeper layers of the earth's crust over millions of years.

Stone is a natural product. We endeavour to reproduce the appearance of our sculptural stones as accurately as possible in the illustrations so that the character of the stone can be recognised. Ultimately, each stone is a unique piece and the appearance may differ accordingly from the illustration.

Our bildhau stones are natural stones in individual shapes & sizes, the dimensions & weights of which we cannot specify exactly in advance. You can choose your stone from different weight categories, in which the maximum price for a stone of the respective category is indicated. The stone supplied will be individually weighed and charged at the price per kilo stated here. The price invoiced will be lower than the maximum price for the respective category.

It is important to us that you receive exactly the material you need for your project. If you are looking for a stone with more specific dimensions (e.g. elongated, approx. 30 cm), please let us know in the message field at the end of the order process. We will endeavour to find a suitable stone for you. On request, we will send you a photo in advance for inspection. We charge a service fee of 9.50 euros for this service, which will be shown on the invoice.

Larger stones and cut-to-size pieces are usually also available for many types of stone. Please contact us by e-mail or telephone for a binding quotation.
