WHAT IS MARBLE
Marble is a hard crystalline form of limestone or dolomite rock. Colours vary from ice white to pitch black and every possible combinations of colours in-between.
With its mottling and streaks, the variety of natural marble is staggering and most pieces are a true sight to behold where you can look at one piece of polished stone for hours and see multitudes of incredible features and textures within the one piece of stone.
Marble is one of the most elegant and luxurious stones available. Marble is softer than its counterpart, granite. Marble is also more susceptible to staining so insure you treat it effectively. More suitable to be used in low traffic areas.
Marble is used for many purposes such as wall, floors, features, sculptures, furniture and much more. In the formation of marble, metamorphism causes variable recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains which results in interlocking mosaic of carbonate crystals.
