Dear Marco:
“
Why is nero marquina not recommended for flooring?
”
It is not the “high content of organic carbon” in the stone that makes it not suitable as flooring material, but rather its high content of calcite (calcium carbonate).
In lay terms, the stone is highly sensitive to any acidic substance, and therefore you do not want to have a stone like that near a kitchen.
For once that the stone dealer is right!...
