Microchemical identification of Macael white marble in some spanish monuments

摘要

The white marbie from Macael quarries (Almería, Spain) has been identified in some monuments of the Southern of Spain; the use of other white marbie types has also been confirmed. The microchemical identification has been carried out by means a previously described graphical method (Bello and Martín, 1991). Fourteen trace elements have been analyzed from both quarry and building material samples by using atomic absorption and fíame emission spectrometry in order to apply the enrichment diagrams for trace elements (EDTE) for identification purposes.
