Origin & supply chain +
Sourced from Buner & Chagai Quarries
Bare Syndicate's marble chips are produced from Pakistani marble blocks at quarries in Buner (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) — the largest white marble belt in South Asia — and Chagai (Balochistan) — known for distinctive coloured varieties including Verona and Onyx. Blocks are processed at on-site crushing and screening plants to standard mesh sizes, washed to remove fines, and inspected for whiteness and grain-shape consistency before bagging. Independent assays for CaCO₃ content are issued on lot basis from SGS or Bureau Veritas.
FAQ +
What sizes of marble chips do you supply?
Standard industrial sizings are 3–6 mm (terrazzo and micro-aggregate), 6–12 mm (decorative concrete and exposed aggregate), 12–25 mm (landscaping and pebble dash), and 25–50 mm (rough landscaping). Custom sizes are produced on order from 5,000 t minimum.
What is the CaCO₃ content and whiteness measure?
White marble chips typically test 95%+ CaCO₃. Whiteness is measured on the CIE L*a*b* colour scale — premium white grades reach L* ≥ 85 (lightness), with named Pakistani varieties including Ziarat White (Buner), Tanmar / Mountain Green (KP). Coloured varieties (Verona Onyx, Sunny Onyx, Pink Onyx, Black Galaxy) range 90%+ CaCO₃ depending on the source quarry.
Where is the marble sourced from?
Primarily from quarries in Buner District and Mardan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) for white marble — including the Ziarat White variety known commercially across South Asia — and Chagai District (Balochistan) for coloured marble (Verona, Sunny, Pink Onyx). Pakistan is among the world's largest marble producers with verified reserves across the Hindu Kush and Chagai geological provinces.
What's typical export packaging?
Marble chips ship in 1.0–1.5 t jumbo bags inside 20 ft or 40 ft containers, FOB Karachi. Bulk shipments by vessel are arranged for orders above 5,000 t. Lead time 2–3 weeks from confirmed PO.
