Abstract :
Commercial standards sized blocks can provide, cut and polished or surface processed and stone characteristics (material properties) coating carrying norms that all types of stone, (sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic) trade languages marble as is known. Under this definition, limestone, travertine, sandstone, sedimentary, such as, gneiss, marble, quartzite metamorphic like, granite, syenite, serpentine, andesite, basalt and marble stones are named as such magmatic. And most preferred building material found in quartz and calcite have been used in the industry with their unique features. Quartzite resistance too, is strong and abrasive rocks. Therefore be difficult and expensive to grind. Thus, the production of quartzite, the same chemical compound found in quartz sand and sandstone (quartz sandstone), as well as more pure quartz, are the preferred. Calcite and carbonate rocks, forming an industrial mineral with chemical formula CaCO3. Volatile mineral crystals in various shapes, brightness and a colorless transparent glass structure. To obtain a white powder when ground. Limestone or carbonate rocks known as limestone direct crystallization of water can accumulate in or jam with the shells of sea creatures were created. Ground calcium carbonate (GCC), industrial minerals, has a very wide area. In this study, quartz and calcite minerals used as raw material specifications of the artificial marble are revealed. According to results of this study, construction materials obtained by Quartz mineral better than obtained by calcite mineral on account of the physico-mechanical properties.
