Abstract

The use of marbles as a building - architectural stone, because of their aesthetic - technical characteristics, has a long tradition in Macedonia from ancient times until today. Dolomitic white marbles are most prevalent in the studied area and clearly different from the gray-white and gray dolomitic marbles. The samples were determined as a fine-grained dolomitic marble, which mineralogically and chemically are quite pure. According to mineralogical and pet-rological characteristics, these dolomitic marbles can find wide application in civil engineering, in concrete mixtures, and in other hydrotechnical works. It can also be used as architectural stone, which allows removal of larger blocks. Based on calculations performed on mining stocks it can be concluded that the investigated area is promising in terms of exploitation of the white dolomitic marble.
