Abstract

The travertine and the onyx from the Bešište village in western Macedonia have been examined in order to determine the possibility to use them as architectural stone. The analyses and the laboratory examination were performed on samples of travertine and onyx. The samples were taken from
the surface parts. The results for their physical mechanical features shown that the rock mass, according to the Macedonian standards, satisfies the requirements to be used as an architectural stone, The quality of the stone is higher in the deeper parts of the field where the external influences have a very small effect.
This stone has highly decorative features but it also has fine grained structure which is a positive effect
for the technical characteristics and the subjection for processing and production.
