Algeria · Marble
also known as Rouina White Marble, Blanc de Rouina, Algeria White Marble
A white crystalline marble from the Rouina commune in Aïn Defla wilaya, northern Algeria — one of the active marble-producing zones in the Tell Atlas belt. Clean white to slightly warm-cream body with minimal inclusions. Used domestically and in limited export to neighbouring Maghreb markets. As Algerian quarrying infrastructure modernises, this material represents an emerging supply option for European buyers seeking a white marble with a distinct African provenance.
Type-level physical facts shown. Per-lot lab values (absorption, flexural strength) confirmed at quotation.
Export volumes remain limited compared to mainstream European marbles. Several Algerian stone companies exhibit at international fairs (Coverings, Marmomac) and can arrange export shipments; lead times may be longer than EU-sourced equivalents.
