Guide to Iranian materials

Scatto & Bianco · Pirtak quarry site

White crystalline marble with a breccia-like pattern

MAMSALEH presents Scatto & Bianco as white crystalline stone from Aligoodarz, Lorestan, and identifies its quarry site with the Pirtak office. Source photographs show a network of grey veins. A breccia-like pattern alone does not establish a petrographic classification.

Dehbid and Shayan: area, quarry and trade name

An offer is easier to read when three levels are distinguished: area of origin, quarry name and trade name. Chahmorghi is documented in Dehbid district; Shayan’s official website identifies Bavanat. Both are in Fars.

Breccias: reading the pattern and documenting origin

Breccia contains angular fragments held in a matrix or cement. The USGS example at Titus Canyon shows limestone pieces cemented by calcite: it explains the structure, not an Iranian quarry.

Comparing cream, grey and crystalline white selections

This guide brings together different appearances: Chahmorghi and Shayan cream stone, Persian Silk greys and Scatto & Bianco crystalline white. These names guide research; the quarry profiles document the producer’s stated origin.
