Sagyin is a village in Mandalay Region, Myanmar. The village's name is eponymous with the Burmese word for "marble." Sagyin is home to Myanmar's largest marble quarry, the Sagyin Hills. Burmese white marble is prized for its hardness and texture. The village is home to 5,800 villagers and 2,000 households, 80% of whom work in the local marble industry, including as marble artisans, sculptors and miners. During military rule, Chinese and military-linked companies were granted decades-long licences to mine marble in the village.
