Physical and mechanical values come from open sources: commercial catalogues, academic papers and environmental impact reports. No state property passport is publicly available, so values should be checked against the specific batch of stone.
What to keep in mind
- За офіційними джерелами Volga Blue — Північна ділянка Головинського родовища, а не Осники. «Осниківське Північне» за довідником ЗТУ відповідає іншій марці — Blue Eyes.
- Properties are confirmed for the specific batch, not by the stone name alone.
