What is Coffee Wood Marble?
Reference photographs. They show the material and the finish; they are not photographs of goods we made, and the colour on screen is not a colour-match.
The figures, and where each one comes from
| Property | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Rock type | Metamorphic, calcite-dominant marble | ASTM C503 classifies marble by composition |
| Place of origin | Guizhou Province, China | Our quarry record |
| Other names | Obama Wood Marble, Coffee Grain Marble, Wood Grain Marble, Coffee Wood Vein Marble | Market listings |
| Also called | Guizhou coffee wood grain marble | Market listings |
Why it behaves the way it does
It is not a single stone. Guizhou carries a belt of related wood-grain marbles — white wood grain, grey wood grain, Athens grey wood grain, coffee wood grain and a flatter variety sold as pinghua — and the same name travels under several English ones. That is why a block number matters more than a name when two quotations are compared.
What these figures are, and what they are not
The physical figures on this page are ours, from the stone we supply. Where a published range is given it is labelled and the source is named. We hold no test report for a panel of this stone and nothing here is presented as a measurement of one.
If you are specifying this
We have not published products against this question yet. Send us the process, thickness and quantity and we will quote it against what we can actually form, rather than against a catalogue.
Coffee Wood Marble is a natural marble from Guizhou Province in southwest China, quarried in a belt of wood-grain marbles. Its figure runs in straight parallel lines like timber grain, which is why it is sold as an alternative to wood cladding in hotel and commercial interiors.
