Dataset Sample (Blue Pearl)
Description:
Commercial name (according to European Standard EN 12440 addendum A) for a coarse-grained, light blue iridescent syenite ( larvikite ) of the Permian period.
The iridescence on the polished surface results of the reflection of light at the feldspar crystals.
Technical and physical characteristics: Bulk density: 2,68 - 2,73 kg/dm³, bending strength: 12,26 - 24,5 N/mm², compression breaking load: 143 - 196 N/mm², water absorption: 0,12 - 0,20 weight-%, frost resistant, polish constant.
There are tests regarding radio activity ( emission ) for more information please contact our Additional Services.
Reference: Fordland Development/Detroit/MI/USA (facing).
Uses: Ornamental stone.
There are very lots of varieties resp. sorts under several different trade names (Marina Pearl + Blue Pearl GT, etc.). The deeper the blue, the higher the price. At time ( 2002 ) there are working about 30 quarries. Blue Pearl is very popular in Germany today and you will find it in nearly every supplier's stock.

Manufactured as flooring, some tiles should be turned 90° to get an homogeneous surface.

This stone internationally may be nominated as a granite. For the US- and Chinese market this is correct according to ASTM C 119 resp. GB/T 17670. But in the area of application of the European Standard (EN) this stone must be nominated as syenite because the EN 12440 demands a scientific terminology for the denomination of natural stones, determined with a petrografic examination according to EN 12407 and 4.2 of prEN 12670. In case of doubt please ask your supplier.
