Hymettian marble (white marble, <marble by color or pattern>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A bluish white marble with bands of parallel gray lines that originates from Mount Hymettus, near Athens, Greece. It can sometimes be slightly green in color, due to the presence of tiny veins of talc and it gives off a fetid odor when sawn or rubbed which is why it is sometimes called onion marble or marmor cipolla. Hymettian marble was often used for both pagan and Christian sarcophagi. |

Additional Notes: |

Dutch ..... Een blauwachtig wit marmer met stroken van parallelle grijze lijnen, dat afkomstig is uit Mount Hymettus, in de buurt van Athene. Als gevolg van de aanwezigheid van kleine talkaderen kan het soms lichtgroen van kleur zijn. Het verspreidt een onaangename geur wanneer het in stukken wordt gezaagd of wanneer het wordt gewreven. Dit marmer wordt hierom soms ook ‘uienmarmer’ of 'marmor cipolla' genoemd. Hymettisch marmer werd vaak gebruikt voor zowel heidense als christelijke sarcofagen. |
Spanish ..... Mármol blanco azulado con bandas de líneas grises paralelas, originario del Monte Hymettus, cerca de Atenas, Grecia. Puede ser a veces ligeramente verde por la presencia de finas venas de talco y produce un olor fétido al aserrarse o rasparse, por lo cual es llamado a veces mármol de cebolla o marmor cipolla. El mármol de Hymettus fue utilizado a menudo para sarcófagos paganos y cristianos.
