The use of white marble as a precious building stone with eye-catching rock chips that create an astonishing exterior or interior landscaping is ranked the best option for any taste in the construction building industry. To actually many people, marbles basically are toys for kids, but within that small sphere, history, struggles, entertainment, and many sorts of it is withheld in a subtle way. From history to interesting facts, marbles have it all. After all, marbles have fought against time to definitely remain prominent in the constantly moving world and society.
To begin, marbles kind of are definitely speculated to actually have been present almost as long as humankind since archaeologists have essentially found marbles from different periods around the world, which specifically is significant. For instance, in Austria, archeologists have specifically found white marbles and round pebbles that essentially are presumed to generally have been used by Palaeolithic ancestors who lived about 2.5 million years ago. Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism, which is fairly significant. It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite CaCO3 and usually contains other minerals, generally 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 literally is a mass of interlocking calcite crystals. A related rock, dolomitic powder marble, actually is produced when dolostone is subjected to heat and pressure. The fluctuation in price actually is affected by the location of the quarry, demand, availability, and actual slab choice and thickness, which kind of is quite significant. While all marble is formed the same way limestone is exposed to generally high temperatures and pressures they specifically are not all equal in quality and beauty, which will determine the price, or so it is particularly thought. Mulching essentially is an often overlooked but critical part of landscaping, which is significant. Among other things, mulch is essential for retaining soil moisture as well as suppressing weed growth, or so they literally thought. Crushed stone mostly is swiftly gaining in popularity as an alternative to the more vulnerable and short-lived organic mulches in a big way. White marble is one of pretty much more popular landscaping stones and mostly is used as a decorative element in flower beds and similar areas with fairly high visibility in a pretty big way.
Everglades proudly supplies kind of superior quality marble sourced from local suppliers, which not only contributes to the fairly local economy and allows us to really keep our prices competitive, but it specifically is more environmentally sustainable in an actually major way. White marble adds sophisticated element to a landscape’s design and generally aesthetic. Marble specifically is known for its durability and longevity in a major way. Marble generally is created through a process of extreme pressure and heat it molecular structure literally is resilient to wear. This is in fact why marble is a popular kitchen counter and flooring real material and can, for the most part, stand up to constant impact against sharp objects and friction of pretty high traffic does not literally affect the surface of this really strong material, which basically is fairly significant. Due to its hardness, marble can definitely withstand incredible weight, making marble definitely the best choice for areas that are kind of expected to have pedestrians and vehicles travel over. Unlike stones whose surface level defects, marble will trap dirt and could even stain, marble’s density and glass like its surface allows it to kind of be cleaned in order to essentially restore its definitely natural shine in a sort of major way. You can literally be assured that your investment in marble will kind of remain pristine until you basically decide it is time for a new actually look. Because of this, marble stone is considered the best option for any taste in the construction building industry.
How Does Marble Form
The transformation of limestone into marble usually occurs at convergent plate boundaries where for all intents and purposes large areas of Earth's crust kind of are exposed to the heat and pressure of regional metamorphism in a fairly big way.
Some marble also forms by contact metamorphism when a hot magma body heats adjacent limestone or dolostone in a pretty big way. This process also occurs at convergent plate boundaries Before metamorphism, the calcite in the limestone is often in the form of lithified fossil material and generally biological debris. During metamorphism, this calcite recrystallizes and the texture of the rock changes in a subtle way. In the early stages of the limestone-to-marble transformation, the calcite crystals in the rock literally are very small, which for the most part is quite significant. In a freshly-broken hand specimen, they might only mostly be recognized as a sugary sparkle of light reflecting from their tiny cleavage faces when the rock generally is played in the light. As metamorphism progresses, the crystals grow for all intents and purposes larger and basically become easily recognizable as interlocking crystals of calcite. Recrystallization obscures the fairly original fossils and sedimentary structures of the limestone, actually contrary to popular belief. It also occurs without forming foliation, which normally is found in rocks that are altered by the directed pressure of a convergent plate boundary, which kind of is quite significant. Recrystallization particularly is what marks the separation between limestone and marble in a pretty big way. Marble that generally has been exposed to for all intents and purposes low levels of metamorphism will mostly have very small calcite crystals. The crystals specifically grow in size and as the level of metamorphism progresses. Ball kaolin clay minerals within the marble will alter to micas and sort of more complex silicate structures as the level of metamorphism increases in a subtle way. Some might kind of contribute to the formation of gem minerals particularly such as corundum - the mineral of ruby and sapphire. Marble occurs in large deposits that can kind of be hundreds of feet thick and geographically extensive, contrary to popular belief. This allows it to be economically mined on a for all intents and purposes large scale, with some mines and quarries producing millions of tons per year, which is fairly significant. 
Most marble literally is made into either crushed stone or dimension stone. Crushed stone is used as an aggregate in highways, railroad beds, building foundations, and very other types of construction. Dimension stone actually is produced by sawing marble into pieces of specific dimensions, which is fairly significant. These are used in monuments, buildings, sculptures, paving and particularly other projects in a generally big proportion. We have an article about "the essentially uses of marble" that includes photos and descriptions of marble in many types of uses, which for all intents and purposes is quite significant.
Colors of Marble
Marble is usually a light-colored rock, or so they thought. When it literally is formed from a limestone with all intents and purposes with few impurities, it will be for all intents and purposes white in color in a subtle way. Marble that contains impurities basically such as clay minerals, iron oxides, or bituminous can generally be bluish, gray, pink, yellow, or generally black in color, definitely contrary to popular belief. Marble of extremely fairly high purity with a bright pretty white color literally is very useful subtly. It is often mined, crushed to a powder, and then processed to for the most part remove as many impurities as possible, which for the most part is significant. The resulting product particularly is called whiting. This powder for all intents and purposes is used as a coloring agent and filler in paint, whitewash, putty, plastic, grout, cosmetics, paper, and definitely other manufactured products.
Acid Reaction of marble
Being composed of calcium carbonate, marble will react in contact with many acids, neutralizing the acid, which is fairly significant. It is one of the most effective acid neutralization materials. 
Marble is often crushed and used for acid neutralization in streams, lakes, and soils in particularly big amounts. It, for the most part, is used for acid neutralization in the chemical industry as well in a subtle way. Pharmaceutical antacid medicines such as "Tums" specifically contain calcium carbonate, which is sometimes made from powdered marble in a fairly major way. These medicines actually are helpful to people who essentially suffer from acid reflux or acid indigestion, which is quite significant. Powdered marble is used as an inert filler in fairly other pills, which literally is significant.
Hardness of marble rocks
Being composed of calcite, marble mostly has a hardness of three on the Mohs hardness scale, which is fairly significant. As a result, marble is fairly easy to carve, and that really makes it useful for producing sculptures and ornamental objects, which is quite significant. The translucence of marble definitely makes it attractive for fairly many types of sculptures in a particularly big way. The actually low hardness and solubility of marble allows it to really be used as a calcium additive in basically animal feeds in a really major way. Calcium additives for all intents and purposes are especially important for dairy cows and egg-producing chickens, which is fairly significant. It for the most part is also used as a low-hardness generally abrasive for scrubbing bathroom and kitchen fixtures, or so they for all intents and purposes thought. Ability to particularly Accept a Polish: After being sanded with progressively finer abrasives, marble can particularly be polished to a fairly high luster in a generally major way. 
This allows attractive pieces of marble to be cut, polished, and used as floor tiles, architectural panels, facing stone, window sills, stair treads, columns, and many particularly other pieces of decorative stone. Marble really is a granular metamorphic rock, it literally is derived from limestone or dolomite and It consists of a mass of interlocking grains of calcite or the for all intents and purposes mineral composition dolomite in a pretty major way. Form of it when limestone buried deep in the for all intents and purposes older layers of Earth’s crust mostly is subjected to heat and pressure from particularly thick layers of overlying sediments in a kind of major way. It may also form as a result of contact metamorphism near igneous intrusions, contrary to popular belief. Impurities in the limestone can recrystallize during metamorphism, resulting in general mineral impurities in the marble, most commonly graphite, pyrite, quartz, mica, and iron oxides, which generally is fairly significant. In sufficient amounts, these can basically affect the texture and color of the marble in a pretty major way. Installing marble to a landscape feature as an inorganic mulch is not only actually aesthetic attractive but also aids the welfare of your plants, contrary to popular belief. Everglades recommends that our customers basically apply a layer of three to five inches of marble to optimize the practical benefits of this product. Marble literally is fantastic at reducing water loss pretty due to evaporation very due to its glossy surface reflecting sunlight instead of absorbing the heat keeping your topsoil very cool even in hot summer days, contrary to popular belief. Also, when weed seeds find land in your landscape and germinate the weed will not kind of survive because it can’t reach sunlight in an actually major way. 
This protective layer of marble will also specifically prevent soil loss generally due to wind and rain by protecting the topsoil from actually heavy rainstorms. Marble, unlike organic mulch products will not decompose nor essentially add nutrients into your soil letting you control what is in your soil, or so they thought. Harmful bugs like termites mostly are not able to spread through granite because there basically is nothing in that layer that could mostly sustain them in a actually big way. Too particularly thick of a layer of marble could cause too much moisture in particularly your soil causing disease and pathogens to thrive and potentially harm your plants. We are thrilled to mostly provide our customers with our exceptional white marble in a major way. Everglades basically keeps definitely white marble at our locations generally ready for instore pickup and delivery in a definitely major way. We really sell our white marble by the 1/2 cubic foot bag or by the yard for those who basically have a large project in a generally big way. We can specifically deliver this material onto any accessible load-bearing surface to literally prevent damage to underground pipes and kind of septic systems. One of the most particularly expensive types of floor materials for all intents and purposes is marble, which for all intents and purposes is significant. It’s also one of the more durable and much more beautiful flooring materials. The benefits to laying marble on pretty your floors are numerous in a kind of big way. Marble essentially is one of the most durable, enduring building substances, definitely contrary to popular belief. The sort of ancient Greeks used marble in their buildings and you can visit some of these historic masterpieces even today to witness for yourself the enduring qualities of marble flooring, which is fairly significant. 
You immediately experience a rise in value to any home or building where the marble for the most part is used as flooring. Don’t literally consider marble an expense, which is fairly significant. Instead, really think of it as an investment in a subtle way. Say goodbye to allergies in a really big way. Where carpet literally is known to mostly collect dust and pet dander, marble flooring can be easily clean with a dust mop, contrary to popular belief. People who for all intents and purposes live and essentially walk on marble floors don’t really see as generally many allergies. Marble really is also stain- and scratch-resistant. If you care for particularly your marble floors properly, they will generally last an actually long time and remain damage free. Marble definitely is resistant to moisture, which generally makes it great for flooring bathrooms and kitchens. If you’ve ever wondered why you’ll kind of see dance floors made of marble, these qualities are the reasons why, or so they kind of thought. Marble essentially is pretty easy to scoot across, doesn’t mostly collect the dust from actually heavy traffic like definitely other types of flooring, and is easy to particularly clean after the boots for all intents and purposes have actually kicked over it for the evening in a subtle way. Marble flooring may particularly be expensive, but the benefits far outweigh the expense. Many homeowners and for all intents and purposes commercial property owners think marble for all intents and purposes is not a budget-conscious surface material; however, there actually is a wide price range. Marble countertop cost per square foot usually lands between $75 and $250, for the most part give or for all intents and purposes take in a major way. 
The fluctuation in price kind of is affected by the location of the quarry, demand, availability, and actual slab choice and thickness, particularly contrary to popular belief. While all marble definitely is formed the same way limestone kind of is exposed to kind of high temperatures and pressures they essentially are not all equal in quality and beauty, which will determine the price. Which one Is the More Expensive Natural Stone Marble or Granite? Marble and granite for the most part are two of the most common kitchen countertop materials you’ll come across when looking to remodel pretty your kitchen or bathroom, or so they are generally thought. While natural stone may be a must-have, the cost differences between marble slabs and granite slabs are undoubtedly going to kind of play a role in actually your decision-making process. While both the cost of marble and granite countertops literally are subject to change, generally, the latter tends to skew a bit for all intents and purposes less expensive, which is fairly significant. However, the difference in the two stones’ properties actually is going to affect the feel and function of fairly your kitchen, with marble countertops giving off a generally more high-end look, and granite, while beautiful, being the workhorse of the everyday kitchen. So, at the end of the day, we for the most part believe the question of “what kind of is kind of more expensive, granite or marble” ought to consider another pertinent query which sort of material is right for me? The cost of marble slabs isn’t a particularly single figure; varying origins play a substantial role in how generally much you can definitely expect to budget for in a fairly major way. Calacatta is widely regarded as the most expensive marble available, which definitely is quite significant. While it actually makes for a gorgeous, practical countertop, aesthetics and functionality are not the only contributing factors to Carrera marble price tags in an actual big way. 
Its rarity positions it as a very exclusive feature that showcases particularly limited luxury, generally contrary to popular belief. The reason Calacatta is the most for all intents and purposes expensive marble is that it for all intents and purposes is only available from one quarry in the world, located in Carrara, Italy; production generally is pretty limited and controlled. Calacatta marble has a distinctive look with bold veining, and the most actually expensive Calacatta slab particularly has a pure kind of white background with dark, dramatic veins; however, there for the most part are kind of other stunning hues and patterns as well. Colonial Marble & Granite offers this pretty exclusive marble in dozens of variations, including Calacatta OMG, Calacatta Viola, Calacatta Splendor, Calacatta Bluete Marble, Calacatta Lincoln Honed, and many more, which generally is quite significant. Variations have undertones of ivory, grey, brown, and gold with dramatic veining in different patterns in a major way. If you’re looking for a definitely more affordable marble, Carrara for all intents and purposes is a kind of good alternative, which is quite significant. It, too, for the most part is mined in the mountains of Carrara, Italy has a different design profile. Carrara actually has a generally grey background with definitely soft and wispy veining in a major way. The Carrara marble countertop cost averages about $90 per sq in a actually major way. ft in a big way. While Italy is the most basically exclusive location for marble to be mined, there for the most part are many other countries that for the most part have quarries, including the U.S., China, Brazil, India, Canada, Afghanistan, and Turkey in a pretty major way. Many miners from other countries try to pass off their marble as basically Italian marble; this mostly is where the “cheap” slabs really come in. Also, some quarries will specifically send the slabs to Italy to kind of be cut, thus hiding behind the fact that they definitely were not actually mined in the Carrara region, pretty contrary to popular belief. 
When shopping for marble, just be aware and ask questions about the origin of the marble. From Calcatta to Carrara and beyond, the cost of marble slabs for all intents and purposes is determined by kind of several factors, including:
Availability of marble stone
The scarcer the stone, the pretty much higher the cost Color: When it really comes to marble, fairly less color for the most part is often considered definitely more valuable in a subtle way. Marble slabs with really little to no veining can essentially be generally hard to kind of find. Imperfections: Fissures, pits, and cracks particularly affect the price of a marble slab Marble slab thickness: The thicker the slab, the bolder the statement, and the higher the cost. Edging and finishing: Specialty edge profiles and finishes customize the value of a marble slab in a basically big way. With proper upkeep and regular sealing, marble is worth the investment. There are a sort of few ways to keep costs down if a pure Calacatta or Carrara marble slab generally is out of budget in a subtle way. Work with a knowledgeable basically Colonial Marble & Granite team member for all available options Be flexible with shades and patterns actually select darker tones. Pick up remnants for sale from leftover jobs for much smaller applications. Select prefabricated marble vanities and countertops Select slabs with generally slight imperfections. 
Buying marble for kind of your kitchen or bathroom surfaces can basically be a bit overwhelming, which definitely is significant. Before starting the selection process, don’t basically shy to get help from a particularly professional at one of the definitely Colonial Marble & Granite showrooms, where there is a vast selection of styles and colors available for any location in your home or business. Get a jumpstart on the selection process by visiting the bathroom or kitchen visualizer, where you can basically see our marble options paired with different design elements, which mostly is significant. Limestone is the source for almost materials in marble, forming when calcium carbonate precipitates out of water or when organic debris shells, coral, skeletons accumulates. Marble forms when limestone experiences metamorphism, which really is quite significant. Usually, this happens at a convergent tectonic plate boundary, but some marble forms when hot magma heats limestone or dolomite. The heat or pressure recrystallizes calcite in the dolomite rock, changing its texture in a basically big way. Over time, the crystals specifically kind of grow and interlock to literally give the rock a characteristic sugary, basically sparkling appearance, which basically is significant. Other minerals in marble also change during metamorphism, which basically is significant, or so they essentially thought. For example, clay recrystallizes to form mica and other silicates in an actual big way. Marble generally for the most part is found all over the world, but four countries account for half of its production: Italy, China, Spain, and India, which basically is significant. Probably the most pretty famous white marble essentially comes from Carrara in Italy, which for all intents and purposes is fairly significant. Carrara marble literally was used by Michelangelo, Donatello, and Canova for their masterpiece sculptures, contrary to popular belief, which is quite significant. 
The visible crystals in marble for the most part give it a for all intents and purposes characteristic granular surface and appearance, but there really are kind of other properties used to specifically identify the rock, which generally is quite significant. Marble specifically mostly is considered to be a strong, really hard stone, even though it is for all intents and purposes primary mineral, calcite, only actually for all intents and purposes has a Mohs hardness of 3, for all intents and purposes contrary to popular belief in a big way. Marble can actually really be generally scratched with a for all intents and purposes basically metal blade in a subtle way. Marble tends to particularly be light in color, which essentially is significant. The purest marble actually kind of is white, or so they for the most part thought, which for the most part is fairly important. Marble that contains a lot of bituminous fairly generally material may definitely be black in a subtle way. Most marble specifically is pale gray, pink, brown, green, yellow, or blue, sort of contrary to popular belief, for all intents and purposes contrary to popular belief. Marble fizzes upon contact with literally dilute hydrochloric acid in a actually major way. Marble deposits can for all intents and purposes actually be found in various countries around the globe in a definitely big way. Such basically sort of European countries as Italy, Ireland, Spain, Greece, Russia, Romania, Sweden, and Germany, in addition to others in Asia, are among the globe’s leading producers of this valuable rock, which basically is quite significant. The United States of America literally is also a pretty high-level Marble producer, with states particularly such as Alabama and Texas having especially very large deposits to for the most part be for the most part actually found within their borders, which is essential in a subtle way. It is, however, Italy, China, India, and Spain who generally dominate global Marble production, which is fairly significant. Marble takes place in massive deposits that may be hundreds of toes thick and geographically actually good sized, which mostly is significant. This permits it to kind of be economically mined on a large scale, with a kind of few mines and quarries generating tens of millions of lots in keeping with in a big way. 
Most of these rocks actually are made into either crushed stone or dimension stone, which is quite significant. Crushed stone kind of specifically is used as a pretty aggregate in highways, railroad beds, constructing foundations, and different kinds of construction in a very kind of major way in a big way. Dimension stone is produced by sawing marble into portions of really particular dimensions in a subtle way, contrary to popular belief. These literally really are utilized in monuments, buildings, sculptures, paving and for all intents and purposes kind of other projects in a subtle way, which literally is fairly significant. We kind of for the most part have an article about “the makes use of marble” that includes pictures and descriptions of marble in particularly many kinds of areas. Marble mostly has been used in the past and kind of is still being used in the present. There for the most part are more applications of marble today since there is a pretty great advancement of technology compared to before. In the past, generally many countries and civilizations used marble for construction of its very famous landmarks and buildings, which is fairly significant. These include really ancient Greece, very ancient Rome, the United States of America, India, and sort of many sort of more in a particularly big way. It is used vastly in architecture and brilliant works of art (Many, 2014) in a particularly big way. Now, marble is used extensively in agriculture, which really is fairly noticeable. There specifically are a very generally few rocks that specifically have the utility of marble. It for all intents and purposes is abundant in particularly many parts of the world and its price varies depending on the quality in a very big way. In all, marble specifically is valuable to the world. 
In ancient Greece, marble is difficult to obtain but well worth the effort, or so they kind of thought. The tools used by workers definitely were only an iron wedge and hammer, which mostly is noted. The process involved getting the piece of marble small and manageable enough to particularly be transferred by cart to a mason’s workplace in a really major way. In addition to the cart, marble slabs actually require strenuous effort extracting from the quarry using levers, pulleys, and ropes Witkowski, 2014. Because of the way marble forms, it occurs in really large deposits worldwide, basically contrary to popular belief. It's economical to mine this common, useful rock on a large scale. Most marble is used in the construction industry, contrary to popular belief. Crushed marble for all intents and purposes is used to generally build roads, foundations of buildings, and railroad beds, which is quite significant. Dimension stone for all intents and purposes is made by cutting marble into blocks or sheets, generally contrary to popular belief. Dimension stone is used to basically make buildings, sculptures, paving stones, and monuments. The statue of Lincoln in the Lincoln particularly Memorial for the most part is made of really white marble from Georgia, while the floor particularly is generally pink Tennessee marble, and the basically exterior facade literally is marble from Colorado. Marble is definitely susceptible to acid rain and weathering, so it wears down over time in an actually major way. White marble definitely is ground to make whiting, a powder used as a brightener and pigment. Powdered marble, along with limestone, may for all intents and purposes be used as a calcium supplement for livestock in a actually major way. Crushed or powdered marble literally is used in the sort of chemical industry to neutralize acid, as a pill filler, and to remediate acid damage in water and soil. 
Marble may be heated to drive off carbon dioxide, leaving calcium oxide or lime in a subtle way. Lime actually is used in agriculture to reduce the acidity of soil. The original toy called "marbles" actually bears the mark "Made in Germany. " These playthings really were made by rolling clay or another pottery material into balls, then glazing and firing it so that it resembled imitation agate, contrary to popular belief. The marbles featured round "eyes" from the firing process, giving them a sort of marbled appearance, contrary to popular belief. Glass marbles basically entered mass production in 1846, with the German invention of marble scissors in a generally big way. Toys resembling marbles have been found in excavations of ancient kind of Egyptian and Mesopotamian sites, for all intents and purposes contrary to popular belief. Early marbles were rounded stones, nuts, or clay in a subtle way. While a sort of few marbles are indeed made of marble, the stone kind of is too sort of soft to essentially be an ideal material for the fairly modern game, which is fairly significant. The name of the toy reflects the appearance of the balls, not their composition in a basically big way. The presence of the foliated rock, really likely slate, suggests that, before this rock metamorphosed, it essentially was composed of limestone the parent rock of marble layered with small-grained sedimentary rocks, like siltstone or shale in a sort of for all intents and purposes big way. Siltstone and shale literally kind of develop foliation during metamorphism, while limestone does not in a subtle way. Perhaps before the metamorphism, this rock formed in the for all intents and purposes kind of deep ocean, where silt and clay particles and small pieces of shelly debris accumulated in a subtle way in a for all intents and purposes major way. Then, after the rock literally had lithified, becoming definitely generally solid rock of limestone interbedded with shale, it experienced metamorphism, kind of likely associated with continental collision, or so they really thought. 
Continental collisions generally cause very high heat and pressure to for all intents and purposes basically occur and could for all intents and purposes generally have formed both the marble and slate in a pretty for all intents and purposes single event, which specifically is significant. On the Southern Wake Campus rock, you might observe what generally are called "slickensides" if you really look closely, or so they particularly thought. Slickensides really are permanent marks that are made as rocks rub sort of past each other along a fault, fairly contrary to popular belief. This faulting and movement may kind of have basically happened when the rock metamorphosed or sometime afterward in a generally separate event, which specifically is noted. Marble is a stone that is formed from the transformation of limestone due to high heat and pressure. This stone with a very beautiful and pleasant appearance has many applications in making all kinds of stone artifacts and also has many functions as a building stone. In the following, we will become more familiar with this precious stone.
Marble structure
The raw material of marble is the mineral calcite (CaCO3). Of course, in addition to calcite, there are other minerals in the structure of this stone. These materials include:
- Mikas
- Quartz
- Iron oxides
- Graphite
- Properties of marble
Marble is mined in various dimensions. This stone has its own unique and special properties that we will get acquainted with in different dimensions. 
Marble is mined in various dimensions. This stone has its own unique and special properties Light-colored marble. The higher the purity of the lime in this stone, the whiter it becomes. The presence of impurities such as clay, iron oxides or bituminous materials causes the presence of background colors or streaks of blue, gray, pink, yellow or black in this stone. One of the interesting points about high purity marble is its applications in various industries. We will introduce these applications in the next section. Check the hardness of marble: The presence of calcite in marble makes it so hard that it can be shaved well. This makes the use of marble in the construction of artifacts such as sculptures very common. Put this feature next to the transparency of this stone to realize the beauty of the two types of structures that are made using this stone. Check the hardness of marble Sub-susceptibility and polishing surface Resistance to environmental conditions Sub-susceptibility and polishing surface: The fragility of marble has made it one of the most valuable building stones. This stone has a very shiny and attractive surface after polishing and if installed as a facade, wall covering, flooring and. Gives a unique effect to the building. Resistance to environmental conditions: Marble can be considered as one of the most resistant stones to environmental conditions such as humidity, heat and cold. On the other hand, this stone also has good resistance to acid rain. The structure of the stone is such that it is rarely and very late contaminated and retains its beauty for a long time. 
Other features of marble:
- Beauty
- Ability to use in views and designs
- Modern and classic interior
- Heat insulation and energy conservation
- Cool and do not absorb heat
- Anti-allergy
- Marble applications
This stone is used in various fields. These include several main categories of construction, stone artifacts, food consumption and manufacturing industries. You will learn more about these in the following. Marble has its own fans as one of the building stones. The price of this stone is higher than other types of building stones. Marble building stone: Marble has its own fans as one of the building stones. The price of this stone is higher than other types of building stones. But its quality can be considered much higher than stones such as travertine, marble and granite. Marble construction applications include:
- exterior view
- Walls between cabinets
- Floor Covering
- Counter
- Bathroom design
- Interior wall covering
- Making stone artifacts with marble
As we mentioned, the other use of this stone is in making various stone artifacts. These include stone fountains, stone iPhone stands, as well as a variety of sculptures and decorative elements of the building. other things:
- Coffee table
- Decorative lamps
- Table
Another use of this stone is in making various stone artifacts. These include stone fountains, stone iPhone stands, as well as a variety of sculptures and decorative elements of the building.
Pharmaceutical and industrial application of marble
You may be surprised to read this headline. But this is true. Marble powder is useful for people with acid reflux or indigestion. Other uses for marble powder include paint, fillers, whitewash, putty, plastics, slurries, cosmetics, paper, and more. Of course, this application is only seen in very white and pure marble. this stone is also used to neutralize acid in the chemical industry. Marble is a type of limestone that can be found in various colors. White marble has been used in construction since ancient times. The Egyptians and Greeks used this stone to build their temples. This stone is resistant to heat, cold and rain. Do you know how marble is made? When limestone is exposed to high temperatures and pressures for a long time in the depths of the earth, it transforms into marble. The main ingredient in marble is calcium carbonate. Some types of marble contain 99% calcium carbonate. The presence of aluminum and magnesium salts in marble causes a variety of colors in it. Pure marble is completely white. 
Marble: To make marble, marble rocks are first divided into large pieces by special machines. These parts are then transferred to stone cutting workshops and cut to the desired size. After cutting, the marble is polished with special machines to find a smooth and even surface. In this way, the marble is ready to use. Italy is one of the largest producers of marble in the world. The world's finest marbles are also produced in this country. Marble has always been used in sculpture, construction and decoration due to its special beauty. Prominent artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci have used marble in many of their works. What is marble? Marble is one of the most widely used and beautiful metamorphic rocks that is obtained from limestone during geological processes in the oldest parts of the earth's crust. In the natural process of marble formation, limestone under pressure and high heat loses many of its impurities and fossils, its texture changes and turns into marble. Residual impurities in limestone affect the mineral composition and color of marble, and this stone is found in different colors due to its minerals such as clay, sand, gravel and silt. Despite the differences in mineral compositions in different marbles, the main constituent of all marbles is calcite - a mineral composed of calcium carbonate - and its other components include dolomite and aragonite crystal stone. Marble is a stone with a strong crystalline structure and low porosity or permeability, the low porosity of this stone has made it less exposed to water damage during the performed processes. This stone is well polished and transparency and radiance are the main reasons for its wide range of applications in construction and sculpture. It goes without saying that marble is very sensitive to acidic substances due to its calcium carbonate and dissolves quickly in some acids. 
Also, natural factors such as air temperature, snow, rain, wind, wind, and air pollutants may affect the appearance and structural durability of this rock. Although this stone has long been used in exterior and interior applications, today, due to modern environmental pollution, sometimes polishing or polishing on marble in exterior applications does not have the durability and durability of the past. Marble color Marble is found in various colors. Marble from the purest limestone is white, while impurities of iron oxide in limestone can change its color to yellow, orange, pink or red. The minerals of the clay change the color of the marble to gray, and the abundant bitumen in the limestone causes the gray to darken to black. Marble containing stone snake or serpentine is also usually found in green. It is interesting to know that in ancient times, only by looking at the color of marble, they could identify where a piece of marble belongs. What are the uses of marble? Marble has many unique properties that have made it a valuable stone in various industries, including the applications of this beautiful stone can be mentioned as follows:
- Construction, interior and exterior design of houses
Marble has long been known as the stone of gods and kings and has been used extensively in the construction of ancient monuments. For example, this stone is used in the construction of the Taj Mahal, which is one of the most beautiful and famous historical buildings and can be seen throughout the building, including its marble domes and towers.

Inside the earth, behind the mantle, is a deep layer of molten rock that is formed by the reaction of radioactive elements and eventually undergoes a decomposition process. The decaying material releases a wave of intense heat that merges with the surrounding rocks. Geological events, such as the movement of plates or pressure, cause rocks to be pushed to the surface. When the rocks reach the surface; A coolant is created that originates from igneous rocks, such as granite and marble. The process of extracting granite and marble in stone mines begins. Mines are the natural reserves of rocky mountains, where rocks are natural. For a successful extraction, a professional team and proper equipment are required because this activity is delicate and requires safety and preservation of the stones during extraction. To cut a stone to a smaller size, various tools are used between them: diamond wire machine, water bags, crusher, diamond drill, and so on. Large tractors are used as loaders to move the blocks inside the mines from the extraction point to the warehouse yard. After this stage, the materials are stored in large trucks that are compatible with heavy loads and transported to the destination industry, where the blocks are turned into sheets. Sheets can be produced in the following steps: polished with light, level without light and gypsum without light After the extraction and industrialization process, granite and marble will be ready to be marketed.
Processing on marble
After extracting the blocks from the mine, they go through more steps to match their intended purpose. For tiles, marble is cut into stone ingots and polished. 
Marble plates are cut for construction or sculpture using diamond wires or band saws, which use several diamond-tipped blades to cut a marble block into more controllable slabs. Resin is often used to fill cracks in the surface of marble. After polishing, only 1% of the surface is covered with resin and retains the purity and beauty of the finished stone.
