← HistoryWhich outcome occurs in Mughal pietra dura inlay when excessive soluble salt crystallization occurs within a humid environment?
A)Material strengthening occurs over maturation
B)Color pigment shifts to cooler hues
C)Delamination of stone inlays occurs✓
D)Increased thermal conductivity is observed
💡 Explanation
Delamination happens because the mechanism of salt weathering pressures the interface between the different stones and the matrix due to repeated crystallization. Therefore, the stone layers separate slowly; rather than becoming tougher, enhanced in color or conducting heat.
