Can China's Lapis Lazuli Marble be used exterior applications in very rainy climates?
Chinas Lapis Lazuli Marble may not be the most suitable choice for exterior applications in very rainy climates. Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock that is primarily composed of minerals such as lazurite, calcite, and pyrite. While it is a beautiful and valuable stone, it has certain properties that may make it vulnerable to weathering and degradation in very rainy climates. One concern with Lapis Lazuli Marble is its porosity. Marble, in general, is a porous material, which means it has tiny interconnected spaces that can absorb water. In very rainy climates, the constant exposure to moisture can lead to water absorption, which in turn can cause the stone to expand and contract. This process can weaken the material over time and may eventually lead to cracks, chips, or a loss of its original properties and appearance. Additionally, the presence of pyrite in Lapis Lazuli Marble can be problematic. Pyrite is a mineral that can react with moisture and oxygen, leading to a process called pyrite decay or pyrite oxidation. This process can cause the stone to deteriorate, resulting in stains, discoloration, and even the formation of cracks. For exterior applications in very rainy climates, it is generally better to choose materials that are more resistant to weathering and have a lower porosity. There are many other marble options available that may be more suitable, such as granites or other types of dense and non-porous stones. Consulting with a stone professional or an architect familiar with the local climate conditions would be advisable to ensure the selection of an appropriate material for exterior applications in very rainy climates.
