The White wood is a kind of gray and white marble with a wooden veins which is famous for its beauty of "natural Wood". The origin of this marble is in Guizhou Province China, so it is also known as wood grain marble or beige serpeggiante marble .

1 :Actually , The white wood is a Limestone !

The White wood marble is a kind of limestone whose main component is calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

2:It is with a Powder structure

Although it has a similar texture and pattern to marble, there is a clear difference. One of the important features is that the formation process of limestone has not undergone the deterioration and crystallization of marble.

This makes the limestone present a fine powder structure in structure. It seems dense, but in fact it is essentially different from the crystal structure of marble and granite.

3:Physical performance

Limestone is fragile, and its flexural bulk density, curvature and compressive strength are not high.

4:High water absorption

Calcium carbonate composition and powder structure make limestone generally have a high water absorption rate.

We have had similar experiences on unsealed wood-grain stones: we sprinkled some water on the wood-grain stones, The Water was absorbed quickly! This feature is obviously different from the reaction of sprinkling on the surface of marble, granite and other stones.

Please be known that the white wood marble is with some defects “Crystal wood marble which is very common to see , Red line or spot , Dark Grey spots and the cracks . here are the quality standards :
