Marble, being a natural stone, has a different characteristic in each continent, country and region of the world. The number and amount of stone types existing on our planet is unlimited, each one having its own colour, strength, appearance, uniqueness, maintenance, texture.
Marble is composed primarily of crystallized limestone. It is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure over tens of thousands of years deep in the earth.
The stone is quarried all over the world and comes in a variety of colour. Some useful information you may want to know about Marble;
