Science - Mining & Minerals / Gems / Bulgarian marble
German term or phrase: Cipran
This doesn't seem very common in German, and may not be correct, but it's a name sometimes given to a kind of Bulgarian marble. I don't have any helpful context, I'm afraid: it's just an item on a list of types of natural stone that is a very small part of a job I'm doing.

Does anyone know an English name (or a more common German name) for this kind of marble?

I've found a picture at: http://www.tana.de/tipsdetail_de.html

Thanks in advance,
Ian

DEPOSIT \"CHEPELARE\", SMOLYAN DISTRICT

The deposit is situated at about 4 km northeast of the town of Chepelare.
The resources (331) are of 605 thousand m3 with randeman of 21%. The deposit has yielded a production of about 40 000 m3. At present the quarry is not working.
The marbles are of the same decorative type (Chp1) - grayish-white, largely to coarsely crystalline, with a brownish tainted vein (from 1 mm to 4.5 cm). Good degree of decorativeness. Size of blocks - medium.
In order to bring the deposit into exploitation, it is necessary to update the conditions and to re-calculate the reserves.

Thanks again. It appears that the stone has several names, including Cipran, but comes from (among other places) Chirpan. So Chuprene appears to have a red herring, but they have marble so it was worth a shot. Thanks again!
