Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals,
most commonly calcite or dolomite. In simple term marble is a metamorphosed limestone.Marble
is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material. Pure white marble is
the result of metamorphism of a very pure limestone or dolomite protolith. White
marble has been praised for its use in sculptures since classical times. This preference
has to do with its softness, which made it easier to carve and homogeneity. and
a relative resistance to shattering. Also, the low index of refraction of calcite
allows light to penetrate several millimeters into the stone before being scattered
out, resulting in the characteristic waxy look which gives "life" to marble sculptures
of any kind, which is why many sculptors preferred and still prefer marble for sculpting.
Construction marble is a stone which is composed of calcite, dolomite or serpentine
which is capable of taking a polish. Here are just some of the amazing advantages
of marble.
New floor can be retrieved just
