| Most marble has naturally occurring cracks and fissures. Expect to see factory repairs. The quality of the repair is dependent upon the factory of origin, the fabricator of the stone and the installer. |

| Rating |
ABRASION RESISTANCE (The ability of a material to resist surface wear.) |
| Low |
This material has low abrasion resistance. It rates as a 1-3 on the Mohs scale. Light scratching will occur with exposure to sand and other abrasives. The finish will patina or dull over time as a result of this scratching. Always use a cutting board for countertop applications and walk-off mats at entrances in flooring applications. |
| Rating |
ABSORPTION (The relative porosity of a material.) |
| Moderate |
This material has a low to moderate absorption rate. Always seal this material prior to use. To reduce the appearance of stains, always wipe up spills immediately. Oil and highly-pigmented liquids can penetrate and stain the stone and may need poultice to remove the stain. |
| Rating |
ACID SENSITIVITY (The likelihood of a material reacting to acidic foods or liquids.) |
| High |
This material is highly sensitive to acids. Acid etching will be highly visible on this material when exposed to acidic foods such as lemons or tomatoes. Do not use this material on kitchen countertop applications where acid etching is a concern. If acid etching is a concern, select a minimally sensitive material. |
| Rating |
FREEZE-THAW (The ability of a material to withstand freeze-thaw cycles in exterior applications.) |
| Not Recommended |
Due to known material weakness or because this material has not been tested, this material is not approved for use in exterior applications. |
