Volakas marble

Volakas marble, from which the stone takes its name, is a remote village on the eastern flanks of the Falakron mountains in the Drama area of North Greece, close to the borders with Bulgaria. Today the name Volakas has become almost generic for a whole range of white and semi-white types of marble which are extracted from these mountains.

White marble use:

White marble has been prized for its use in sculptures since classical times. This preference has to do with its softness, relative isotropy and homogeneity, and a relative resistance to shattering. Also, the low index of refraction of calcite allows light to penetrate several millimeters into the stone before being scattered out, resulting in the characteristic waxy look which gives "life" to marble sculptures of the human body.
