Persian Marble

The Quarry supplies pinkish cream marble stones having red sinusoidal veins as decoration; and calcite (CaCo₃) is the major constituent of these marble stones.

The Khor and Biabanak Quarry is currently under simultaneous preparation and exploitation (although in a limited capacity); and the annual production of the Quarry amounts to 25,000 metric tons. Marble blocks are produced in varying proportions and of different quality ratings including export-proper, high quality, grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3. The dominant method employed for extraction is the wire saw mining.
