By Evershine Marbles Private Limited (Makrana | Kishangarh | Jaipur)
At Evershine Marbles India buying marble is a long-term investment. Whether you are building a home, showroom, or commercial space, choosing the right marble is critical. Unfortunately, many buyers—especially first-time buyers—get misled due to hidden cracks and fillings in marble slabs.
At Evershine Marbles Private Limited, we believe in transparency and educating our customers. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you identify cracks and fillings so you always choose the best quality marble.
1. Always Check the Marble in Raw Form (Without Powder)
Nowadays, in major marble markets like Makrana and Kishangarh, some sellers apply white powder on marble slabs.
Why is this done?
- It enhances the whiteness temporarily
- Makes the slab look premium and uniform
- Hides cracks, veins, and fillings
What should you do?
- Always insist on seeing the slab without powder
- Ask the seller to clean or wipe the surface properly
👉 A genuine slab will look natural, not artificially white.
2. Perform the Water Test
One of the simplest and most effective tests.
How to do it:
- Pour water on the surface of the marble slab
- Observe carefully
What to check:
- If water seeps through or appears on the other side → There is a crack
- If veins become too prominent → Check carefully for fillings
🚫 Avoid slabs where water penetration is visible.
3. Check for Handling or Loading Cracks
Sometimes cracks are not natural—they occur due to:
- Improper unloading
- Mishandling during stacking
- Poor transportation
What to do:
- Inspect edges and corners carefully
- Ask the seller how the crack occurred
👉 Even small cracks can expand later, so it’s better to avoid such slabs completely.
4. Inspect Every Slab Individually
A very common mistake buyers make:
“Front slabs look good, so the entire lot must be good.”
Reality:
- Quality can vary slab to slab
- Back slabs may have cracks or fillings
What you should do:
- Ask the seller to shift and show each slab
- Check both sides and edges
✔ Never finalize a lot without full inspection.
5. Observe During Loading (Reflection Test)
During loading, when slabs are lifted:
- Light reflects differently on cracked areas
What to look for:
- Fine lines appearing under reflection
- Sudden breaks in pattern
👉 These lines often indicate hidden cracks.
6. Avoid Brown Lines with Pinholes (Very Important)
This is one of the most dangerous defects.
Identification:
- Brown or dark line
- Small pinholes along the line
Why is it risky?
- Looks attractive initially
- Becomes weak during cutting or installation
- Can break suddenly after installation
🚫 Strict advice: Never buy marble with this type of line
