A thorough characterisation of porphyry from China (Province of Fujian) was made, regarding three chromatic variants: red, brown and grey. The properties object of study are: petrographic, chemical and mineralogical analysis, real and apparent density as well as open and total porosity, water absorption at atmospheric pressure, resistance to salt crystallization, rupture energy, compressive strength, flexural strength, abrasion resistance and slip resistance. The achieved results remain into the expected ones for this kind of stone. Nevertheless, small differences were found according to the colour of the sample. Finally, those properties which are covered in the CE marking were compared with the representative values of commercial samples from countries as Italy, Argentina and Mexico.
