Abstract

Use of dimension stone dates back to very early history of the human civilization. It is one of those few
industries which had its inception with the early human life and is still among the leading industries in the construction
world. Marble has always been on top in the list of the names of dimension stones because of its variety of colors,
shades and patterns and especially the good polish it takes. There are huge reserves of marble in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
(KPK) and Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA). Most of these deposits have been reported earlier but there
are many others which have not been discussed in detail regarding their quality reserves and mine ability.
