Volakas Flower Marble

Volakas flower marble is one of the most fashionable Greek marbles all over the world at a time when the trend is shifting towards white/gray colored stones.
Volakas Flower, which is not as well known as the Diagonal variety, is called by this name because of its vein shape. Volakas marbles from different quarries tend to have different patterns. However, the dominant color is white ground or brown with gray veins. In addition, veins can be thicker or thinner within the same stone. In some cultivars the background is dominant, while in other cultivars it is the vein that differentiates the most.
Volakas is a dolomite marble in terms of mineral composition. It differs from other dolomites according to the type of vein and therefore it is given different names. Its technical characteristics are similar to other dolomites. Resistance to abrasion is superior because it has more flexibility. In large blocks, care must be taken not to bend the plates.
