Marble Mining and Manufacturing From a $1 Billion Quarry | The Luxury Stone

Marble Mining and Manufacturing From a $1 Billion Quarry | The Luxury Stone
Did you know that marbles are metamorphic rocks? This indicates that although they were formerly a different kind of rock, they have all undergone significant alteration from their igneous, sedimentary, or previous metamorphic forms. Marble has been in existence for a considerable amount of time. It has actually been a common building and home accent material for generations.

I used to transport templates to a location and then deliver the finished countertop to the customer on an A-frame. The sight of the marble in the racks, awaiting transformation, was truly captivating. The process, though challenging, is often overlooked by most, but the intricacies involved are beyond belief. Crafting these countertops requires an incredible amount of skill and effort, turning raw materials into exquisite pieces that grace homes.

Fascinating insight into the marble mining process! The combination of natural formation and human ingenuity in creating these beautiful marble pieces is truly remarkable. It's intriguing to see how technology and manual labor come together in this intricate process. Great video, looking forward to more such informative content.

[@matthewalexander2436]

As a realist artist I've always loved it. It's precious stuff, and not hard at all, it's crystalline, and can be damaged quite easily. Just beautiful to work with, unlike any other rock or stone. To this day it's still expensive, and so it should be. ❤

[@robbietoms3128]

I used to carry the templates to a place then carry the finished counter top back to the customer on an a frame. Lovely looking at the marble in the racks waiting to be used.very beautiful.

Yes. Best to leave it in the mountain where nobody can see it. Ever. Just another large hill. My problem is people chopping it into tiny knicknacks that get thrown away, like souvenirs, etc. This should be reserved for big projects like the Taj Mahal, The Duomo, the David, etc. My parents had a Connemara Marble ashtray. no clue where it is now. Dont care. What a waste.

I appreciate the insight on marble's limitations for countertops. It's essential for homeowners to consider factors like hardness and susceptibility to damage when investing in kitchen surfaces, where durability is paramount.

[@landshark7154]

They don't. Then they call us as the builder to fix it.

[@mohdjibly6184]

This is awesome..my favourite part is the cutting of the marble stones.....thanks for sharing.

¡Qué fascinante proceso de extracción y transformación del mármol! Me encanta cómo el video detalla cada etapa, desde la extracción en las canteras hasta la meticulosa fabricación de las encimeras. ¡Una lección completa sobre este lujoso material!

[@lamania32]

water is cooling the cutting "blades/ wires" its not for crack prevention, #1 enemy of any cutting tool drill bit etc is heat

[@DSE75]

Yep. Cool the blade, minimize dangerous dust, and less stone chipping/cracking.

[@peterlarkin762]

Absolutely marbleous.

[@Laserblade]

Interesting quarrying! Marble is a metamorphic calcite with a Mohs hardness of 3 and will etch easily, removing the polished surface and is not suited for countertops in my opinion. Granite with a hardness of 7 is a much better material that is bulletproof compared to marble.

[@godbluffvdgg]

As a kitchen and bath remodeler since the 80's, I agree Marble is a HORRIBLE counter material..It soaks up stains...Granite is far better...I remember when we were pretty limited to color selections back in the day...Now, it's almost TOO HARD to select the "just right" color...The African, Indian, and South American color selections are so beautiful and exotic!

[@kyleanuar9090]

One of the biggest mosque searched worldwide for the whitest marble and found it in China, indeed it's beautiful. I believe it's the second big mosque with the largest carpet.

I love marble. When we built our home it was one thing I insisted on. We have different colored .arble throughout our home. Black and grey in the main kitchen and black and white in the. Main bathrooms and master bedroom ensuite and the guest wing bathroom. In the TV room / living room we have a fireplace with a flat screen TV that is flush with the marble above the fireplace.

I was surprised how thin that countertop was. It almost had to have rebar embedded in the back.

[@dlwdlw2962]

The end result was breathtaking. Makes me want to upgrade my kitchen.

The open cut marble mine looked surreal. Are the marble dust or fragments created by the cutting processes used for anything?

[@SJR_Media_Group]

I learned something new from this video.... marble slabs can have epoxy and fabric added to increase strength. This also allows better finish on exposed side as it becomes more dimensionally stable. Like putting a 'cast' on a broken bone.

[@paultinwell5557]

Oh no, no, no... this uses MEGA epoxy (apparently). I've no idea what that is, but it was a surprise to me too. I'd have preferred a little science, but I'm guessing this isn't a channel for me.

[@SJR_Media_Group]

Thanks, I too never heard of it. Learning is good.@@paultinwell5557

[@priorityone89]

i think it was the backside of the slab they applied epoxy and most likely a nylon or polyester mesh. but yeah 'mega epoxy' was weird one

[@nannetteaustin2308]

[@DiscovertheWorldofMachin-zi8mr]

In manufacturing, marble gang saws are employed to slice large marble blocks into thin slabs. These multi-blade saws use water or other cooling agents to prevent overheating during the cutting process.

[@Sawmill.skills.indonesia]

Incredibly beautiful

[@ovidiuciuparu6421]

8:12 is not enhancing any appearance or smoothness since that mesh is underneath! Look 3 minutes further in the video and you will see that you will never see the mesh once is installed! Is 100% helps with cracks and other things… i agree with that!

As beautiful as marble is, it will absorb stains. Unlike granite that isn’t porous. For counter tops in kitchens I always advise granite, marble for bathrooms.

In the beginning 0:15 there is an incredibly big, beautiful and luxurious bathroom, covered on marble. How would they fix the plumbing though, if something goes wrong? Do they detach the slabs on their entirety from the wall? Do they have to fix the pipes from the other side? Not always those same type of marble is available afterwards....

@@tinadiggingindirtweinstein5648 When I was at Machhu Piccu, the guide explained that that was how the rock on site was quarried and shaped for building purposes. Perhaps they used slaves or just craftsmen. From what we were told, it was actually fairly easy to split the rock with water soaked wedges and temperature changes. I prefer using equipment of course, but you will notice that I was responding to someone who was asking how marble was cut 1000 years ago. I am pretty sure they did not have horizontal saws or forklifts or any other useful tools like we have.
