What is marble?
When limestone becomes subject to heat and pressure, it produces a rock that contains minerals like calcite, micas, quartz, clay minerals, pyrites, and graphite. This rock that is formed during limestone metamorphosis is a marble. It is also referred to as dolomite because, similar to limestone, when dolostone undergoes exposure to heat and pressure, it produces a rock, dolomitic marble.
Marbles always occur in large deposits; however, they are made into two forms, each with a different use. Crushed stone is used in highways, railway beds, and foundations as an aggregate, whereas dimension stone is used in paving, monuments, buildings, and sculptures. As its name suggests, you can saw it in different dimensions. However, in the stone trade, the definition of marble changed; it is not just limestone or dolostone subjected to heat and pressure; it is any carbonate rock that is crystalline and can accept a polish. Other soft rocks that can be identified as marble are serpentine, verd antique, and travertine.
Minerals present during recrystallization make marble have a wide variety of colors; pink, blue, green, purple, and even yellow. For years, we could not help but admire palaces and historical buildings, not just for their vastness but also for their magnificent floors and walls. Statues and sculptors have also stood the test of time and looked whole and alive. What is it that is in these buildings and statues that make them durable even after years?
