Sudanese marble

Very easy to work with reddish marble with a coarser crystal structure.

TECHNICAL DATA

PROCESSING

Due to its crystal structure, marble is particularly suitable for stone carving.

Marble can be worked very well by hand using forged point chisels with hammerhead (point chisel, claw chisel, flat chisel, etc.) in combination with an iron scraper. 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 lustre. In Italian sculpture workshops, marble is mainly worked with pneumatic tools, which can be used to shape it very precisely. Polishing can also be done mechanically.

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

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