Dave the Marble Guy
There are more than eight thousand types of marble in the world today, and the number continues to grow. It would be impossible to list every type available, but there are some common characteristics that easily identify marble.
Scientifically, marble is defined as any limestone that will take a polish. Limestone and, therefore, marbles are composed of minerals of calcite or dolomite. Marble, in its purest state, is white. Colored marbles are the result of other minerals mixed with the calcite or dolomite. |
