What is Marble?
Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism. It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) and usually contains other minerals, such as clay minerals, micas, quartz, pyrite, iron oxides, and graphite.
Under the conditions of metamorphism, the calcite in the limestone recrystallizes to form a rock that is a mass of interlocking calcite crystals. A related rock, dolomitic marble, is produced when dolostone is subjected to heat and pressure.
What Do People Use Marble For?
Marble is used as an aesthetic feature throughout kitchens, bathrooms, powder rooms, laundries and walk in wardrobes. Marble is a versatile application that can be used as a timeless feature on benchtops, walls and floors. Resistant to staining and etching, marble is a timeless feature to be considered for your next new home build or renovation.
