You probably won\u2019t find any at R K Marble, but you\u2019re welcome to take a close look anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To identify poor quality marble, you should look for cracks and crumbs in the stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marble is a beautiful, yet complex stone. While some major cracks may compromise its strength and durability, some imperfections may only add to the artistic appeal without affecting the stone\u2019s applications. You need to know which ones raise a red flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, fissures will not impair or affect the performance or integrity of the stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference between fissures and cracks in marble:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fissures are long, extremely narrow openings along the surface of the stone, occurring naturally during&nbsp;<a href=\"#\">geological formation<\/a>&nbsp;or mineral crystallization. They may be rare, but you can identify them by trying to run your fingernail through the irregular gap. If you can\u2019t really fit your fingernail in the gap, there\u2019s not much to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrarily, cracks are generally straight and deep, and caused by manhandling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>R K Marble uses CHR treatment to process the marble, running each slab under X-ray multiple times to check for microscopic pores and fissures and fills them in with Italian epoxy resin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isn\u2019t it overwhelming to design a new home or redecorate an old one?
