| Remarks | Chinese natural grey marble, local market name: 牡丹灰(Mǔ Dān Huī), alias: Rhododendron Ash Marble. Slab pre‑selection and dry‑lay before installation strongly suggested. High‑quality penetrating sealant must be applied after installation. Only neutral non‑abrasive cleaners allowed, avoid acidic liquids which cause permanent etching. Actual finished goods prevail over pictures and descriptions. |



Peony Grey Marble is natural calcite‑based marble. Vein distribution and grey tone show medium‑high variation among different slabs. Slab pre‑selection and dry‑lay before installation are strongly recommended for large‑area projects to get consistent visual effect. This stone is designed mainly for interior application and not suggested for exterior locations with freeze‑thaw cycles. Apply high‑quality penetrating sealant after installation and perform regular re‑sealing. Only use neutral non‑abrasive cleaning agents. Avoid acidic liquids such as fruit juice, wine and acidic detergents which will cause permanent etch marks. All test data are available upon customer request; actual finished goods shall prevail over pictures and descriptions.
We adopt seaworthy fumigated wooden crates for packing slabs and tiles. Custom‑made crate solutions are provided for special‑shape stone pieces. We support international trade terms including FOB, CIF and DAP.
Q1: Where is Peony Grey Marble quarried and what are its other market names? A1: Peony Grey Marble is quarried in China. Its Chinese market name is 牡丹灰 (Mǔ Dān Huī), and it is also known as Rhododendron Ash Marble. Please confirm the official stone name on your order to avoid confusion with other grey marbles.
Q2: Can Peony Grey Marble be used for outdoor projects? A2: It is only recommended for interior‑use. It is not suitable for exterior environments especially areas with repeated freeze‑thaw cycles.
Q3: Can Peony Grey Marble be applied for kitchen countertops? A3: It can be used for interior countertops. Since it is calcium‑based marble, acidic spills will lead to permanent etching. Promptly wipe away liquid spills, and keep regular sealing maintenance.
Q4: What formats and custom processing can you supply? A4: We provide big slabs, cut‑to‑size tiles, stair treads and window sills. Multiple surface finishes are available. Custom fabrication including CNC cutting, edge profiling, hole‑drilling and water‑jet cutting can be done according to project drawings.
Q5: Are small samples representative of Peony Grey Marble full slabs? A5: Small samples can reflect base color and surface texture, but cannot fully display the large‑scale cloud‑like vein performance of full‑size slabs. For high‑value large‑volume projects, checking full‑slab photos is highly advised.
Q6: Can you provide physical lab test reports? A6: Complete lab test documents are not attached by default. We can supply related test data and certificates upon customer request for tender or project submission.
