| Parian Marbles | “Nymphs Grotto Quarry, near St. Minas, and other quarries on Mt. Capresso (Ancient Mount Marpesius) on the Isle of Paros, Ǽgean Sea.” | “These quarries are believed to have been worked as early as 600 B.C. Originally the marble was obtained from subterranean quarries or tunnels driven horizontally or at a descending angle into the mountain. Several of these tunnels are in existence and sometimes worked. The Parian marble is perhaps more widely known than any other statuary marble. Many small pieces of statuary made from other less famed and inferior white statuary marble, and sometimes from Alabaster or a composition, are sold as Parian marble. The ancient stone is pure white statuary and takes a good polish. The modern Parian marble is coarse grained and the white statuary variety is obtainable in small pieces only. The common variety is white with straight or crinkly veins. Much of the marble from Naxos, an island separated from Paros by a narrow channel, is sold for and is similar to the modern Parian marble.” ( from “List of the World’s Marbles,” Through The Ages, mag., (circa 1920) Nat.

| Pavonazetto | “Pavonazetto or Pavonazetta.” This ancient marble as well as the list that follows, which have a Pavonazetto prefix, are all supposed to have been quaried near the ancient city of Synnada, in what was then known as Phrygia, Asia Minor.
