摘要

An approach based on a combination of elemental, mineralogical and structural analyses is used to characterize several samples of marble and ornamental rocks taken from different regions of Morocco. Each of these rocks has its own characteristics, with a variety of colors (gray, white, pink, black, yellow, red, brown, etc.). Three samples of white marble from Carrara (Italy), Drama and Kozani (Greece) were studied under the same conditions to serve as references. A sample of white marble from the Moulay Ismail Mausoleum in Meknes (18th century) was also studied under the same conditions in order to identify its quarry of origin. These marbles were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and micro-Raman spectroscopy. XRF was used to determine the elemental composition of the samples. Major and minor crystalline phases were identified using XRD and micro- Raman spectroscopy.
