''Marble is a part of history...''

Marble is a metomorphic limestone that recrystallizes under the influence of heat and pressure.

Marble is formed by the recrystallization of carbonate minerals found in sedimentary rocks, resulting in a mosaic of calcite or dolomite crystals. This is how natural marble rock is formed and where it gets its classic clarity. Composed largely of the mineral calcite, marble often also contains other minerals such as tan minerals, quartz, iron oxides and graphite. Commercially, it includes all calcium-rich decorative rocks that can be polished, as well as some serpentines.

They are usually white, beige and grey in color, but can also appear in different colors depending on the variety of minerals present in the environment and how much or how little of these minerals there are, for example pink, red, bluish or orange.

Widely used for sculpture and as a building material, marble is usually found in many parts of the world. Although it can be found in most countries, four main countries have almost half of the world's marble: Italy, China, India and Spain. Apart from these four countries, there are also marble quarries in Greece, Turkey and the United States.
