Marble
WHAT IS MARBLE
Marble is formed when Limestone is recomposed
through the mixture of heat, pressure and the addition of minerals. This
is therefore a metamorphic stone. Marble consists mainly of calcium and
dolomite and can be very veined in appearance. This stone is porous and
can be easily damaged when exposed to a moist, acidic atmosphere.
Marble is available in either a polished or honed finish (matt). Sealing
is vital. Marble is suited mostly for interior applications such as
vanity bench tops, fireplace surrounds and table tops. We strongly
recommend against using Marble for kitchen benchtops.
Marble is a metamorphic rock usually formed from limestone that has
undergone physical and (sometimes) chemical changes in response to
elevated temperature and pressure within the Earth's crust.
