Aris Silver
Grey crystalline limestone marble extracted from our Aris Silver quarry in Erdemli, Mersin.
Aris Silver is a grey crystalline neritic limestone marble of Jurassic–Cretaceous age, extracted from our quarry in Güzeloluk, Erdemli district, Mersin province.
With its balanced veining and homogeneous grey tone, it suits both large surfaces and detail work. Its low water absorption and high compressive strength make it a preferred choice for façade and flooring applications as well as interiors.
