Abstract

The natural stone named "Crema Marfil " is mainly extracted from Coto Pinoso Quarries (Pinoso, Alicante) and their geological prolongations. This natural stone may be c/assified as a biosparite-biomicrite with veins and stylolites. The technological properties of "Crema Marfil " are comprised within of MIA requirements to accept a natural stone as a commercial marble. Mercury porosimetric data are used to stablish a parameter of durability. The durability estimation from porosimetric data are not related with quality estimation from modulus of rupture and sanie velocity.
