Oriental Fish Belly White Marble Slabs

Oriental Fish Belly White Marble is one of China's most celebrated and prestigious export marbles — a dense, fine-grained metamorphic stone quarried from the ancient, mineral-rich geological formations of Sichuan Province. Its hallmark is an exquisite, milk-white to pale ivory base gently laced with soft jade-grey feathering, subtle gold highlights, and delicate smoky charcoal veining, evocative of the rare and prized "fish belly" luster seen in classical Asian art. Formed under extreme heat and tectonic pressure over millions of years, Oriental Fish Belly White Marble is classified among the finest structural and aesthetic white marbles commercially available, featuring impressive material density and low porosity. Its exceptional polish retention, luminous translucency, and timeless chromatic harmony make it the marble of choice for luxury hospitality lobbies, high-end residential interiors, book-matched feature walls, and bespoke vanity craftsmanship worldwide.

Processing & Machinery Assessment

GANGSAW & MULTI-WIRE SAW SUITABILITY

This block has been assessed as fully compatible with modern marble gangsaw and diamond multi-wire saw processing equipment. Standard block dimensions of L-280 cm × B-165 cm × H-150 cm fall directly within the optimal range for high-yield, low-waste slab production. Oriental Fish Belly White Marble's uniform crystalline body, minimal micro-fissures, and balanced vein distribution ensure smooth, low-vibration sawing, making it an exceptional candidate for precision book-matching and large-format slab fabrication.

• Recommended Processing: Gangsaw or multi-wire saw slabs (1.8 cm & 2 cm), followed by surface net-backing reinforcement, premium epoxy resin treatment, calibration, and mirror polishing (optimized for Book-matching)
• Expected Slab Yield: Approximately 78–88 slabs per block (based on 1.8 cm slab thickness)
• Finish/Polish Result: Ultra-glossy, luminous mirror finish that illuminates the pristine white ground and unlocks the delicate depth of its jade-grey veining
