Marble has been valued for thousands of years
for its rich palette of beautiful colors and appearance and is
perfect, pretty much anywhere in the house. Marble stones consist
of limestone that has undergone heat and pressure. A transformation
process takes place when the weight of overlying material, pressure
from crystal collisions and heat from the earth's core generate
temperatures in excess of 1800ºF.Texture of marble depends
on the form, size and uniformity of grains. The element components
of marble determine the color of the stone. Generally calcite
and dolomite marbles are of pure white color. Variations of whiteness
of pure marbles are due to the mixture of foreign substances.
Such impurities form streaks and clouds.
