Napoleon gray marble (gray marble, <marble by color or pattern>, ... Materials (hierarchy name))

 

Note: A hard and highly crystalline marble from Missouri that is used extensively for interior and exterior applications; it is grayish in color, has a close, even texture and takes a high polish. Crinoide remains create pencil-like markings which in turn create attractive patterns that are revealed when the marble is sawn crossways.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Een hard en zeer kristallijn marmer uit Missouri dat veelvuldig wordt gebruikt voor binnen- en buitentoepassingen. Het heeft een grijsachtige kleur, een gesloten en gelijkmatige textuur en het glanst snel. De resten van crinoidea geven het een schetsachtig patroon. Dit zorgt voor de fraaie motieven die zichtbaar worden als het marmer overdwars wordt gesneden. 
Spanish ..... Mármol duro y altamente cristalino de Missouri que se utiliza ampliamente en aplicaciones interiores y exteriores. De color grisáceo, tiene una textura cerrada y homogénea y alcanza un excelente pulido. Los restos de crinoide generan marcas que parecen trazos de lápiz que crean a su vez diseños atractivos cuando el mármol es aserrado transversalmente.
