الوصف

Marble is a metamorphic limestone. It begins as a sedimentary stone consisting of seashells and the bones of sea creatures that have settled to the ocean floor. Calcium in the sediment combines with carbon dioxide in water to form calcium carbonate. High heat and pressure cause the fossilized materials, along with its original carbonate minerals, to crystallize and transform limestone into marble.
Like fingerprints, no two pieces of marble are exactly alike. Marble varies in color and veining from stone to stone as a result of fissures filled with minerals that are present during the stone’s formation. The naturally occurring variations in
marble contribute to its distinctive appeal. Polishing achieves a patina that further enhances the colors of all the trace elements.
