| Description: |
Formed from limestone by heat and pressure in the earth's crust, the word for stone "Marble" is originally derived from the Latin word "Marmar" which itself comes from the Greek root "Marmarous" meaning there by a shining stone.
These forces cause the limestone to change in texture and makeup. This process is called recrystallization. Fossilized materials in the limestone, along with its original carbonate minerals, recrystallise and form large, coarse grains of calcite. Impurities present in the limestone during recrystallization affect the mineral composition of the marble that forms Marble. Main constituents of marble are calcium and dolomite. Hardness ranges from 2.5 to 5 on the MOH scale. Marble is a reasonably strong and durable stone.
Major Marble Deposit Locations : Marble is found in many countries, including Belgium, France, Great Britain, Greece, India, Italy, and Spain.
