Calcite is calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), the main mineral in marble and limestone. Technical material language, not a product brand.
Aragonite is a calcium-carbonate mineral polymorph; in stone contexts it appears in technical mineralogy notes. Not a commercial slab finish or selection grade.
Compressive strength is the maximum crushing stress stone sustains before failure, reported from standard tests. Used in structural and paving specifications.
Modulus of rupture is a calculated breaking stress under bending (e.g. ASTM C99). Used in technical datasheets for structural and paving specs.
