“…As a result, South Aceh marble is highly consisted of Sb with a percentage above 80%. The content of elements tested in Table 3 are different with the elements resulted in XRD analysis in previous study [7]. The greatest differences are related to the contents of Sb.…”

“…This is primarily because the potentialities of these marbles are not evaluated, which are very important to the choice of any deposit for a particular purpose. In the past some work has been carried out on the evaluation of appearance and mineralogical properties of these marbles [6][7]. In order to enhance their use for building material and other potential industrial applications, the physical and chemical properties of the marbles need to be analyzed.…”

Marble is a metamorphic rock that is widely distributed in the Earth�s continental layer. Regarding its antiquity and aesthetic appeal, it has been widely used as a construction material such as flooring tiles in buildings and monument. Physical and chemical properties of natural stones play an important role on deciding their application area as a building stone. This study reports the physicochemical analysis of marble stones from the Gunung Kerambil (GK), Alur Kering (AK) and Meukek (M) area in South Aceh District. Density, water absorption and chemical analyses of the marble samples were determined. Physical properties of samples were determined through laboratory measurements. Chemical characterizations were made using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) method. Based on,water absorption test results, the marbles from South Aceh are applicable for tile application.
