Marble is a type of metamorphic rock which is characterized by swirls of colour from impurities and the ability to take a very high polish. This stone has been used for thousands of years in art and architecture, and it continues to be very popular today in applications ranging from garden paving stones to mantles. High quality marble is typically very costly, and many people associate marble with luxurious design as a result.
| Marble often has no clearly discernible grain, and it is typically streaked with veins and clouds of impurity which vary widely in colour. When cut into slabs, these impurities can create striking and fanciful designs. |
Marble can also be black, gray, pink, or green, and it may be streaked with many variations of these colours.
Blocks of marble are cut into slabs for flooring, countertops, and tiles, and marble slabs have also been used to face buildings and columns.
The quality of marble can vary widely. People who are not experienced with this stone can end up with pieces which are not terribly useful, since they have flaws or cracks which will cause problems if the rock is used. It also takes years of experience to learn to work with marble, since the stone is very brittle and hard although softer then granite, it can shatter if roughly treated.
