Adanga White

Über Adanga White

Adanga White (also Ambaji Adanga White Marble) is a Precambrian marble quarried near Ambaji, Banaskantha district, Gujarat — a region straddling the Rajasthan border, which explains the DNSA locality 'Rajasthan'. DNSA registers it as 'ADANGA WEISS' (Stein Nr. 4079) with trade code KG 16. The stone is fine-grained with a spotted/uniform white appearance. Technical data from StoneContact (medium confidence, no DNSA technical profile available): density 2720 kg/m³, compressive strength 73–78 MPa, flexural 8.8 MPa, water absorption 0.07%. The low water absorption and moderate compressive strength are consistent with dense Indian white marbles from this region. DNSA availability note: 'In Abbau, jedoch kaum in Deutschland eingesetzt' (quarried but rarely used in Germany).
