* Specific gravity(g/㎤) … Ratio of the mass of stone relative to the mass of an equal volume of water at a specific temperature
*Water absorption(%) … Percentage of increase weight due to the penetration of liquid water into the dry stone. Stone with a small number is preferred for less degradation, and maintaining color and shine.
*Compression strength(N/㎡) … Maximum load that can be applied to stone before the stone is crushed. An index of stone hardness.
