Abstract

This methodical investigation's primary goal is to ascertain the geological, geochemical, mineralogical, and mechanical characteristics of the calcite marble found in Khewa. The article includes all important information about Khewa calcite marble, including its quality, constituent minerals, related elements, and other data. The procedures employed for the precise investigation and evaluation of the mine's characteristics include manipulative field observation, laboratory examination of Khewa calcite marble, and preliminary library studies concerning the research location. The calcite marble library research provided exact and accurate information about the location of the examined area's geology, as well as information about its tectonics and magmatism. In order for the laboratory analysis to determine the true geology of the area under study, including adjacent rocks, and the chemical makeup of the calcite marble, laboratory examination is required. Mica schist is the neighboring rock to calcite marble (a metamorphic rocks).
