WHAT IS MARBLE?

Marble is a metamorphic rock resulting from regional or rarely contact metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, either limestone or dolomite rock, or metamorphism of older marble. This metamorphic process causes a complete re-crystallization of the original rock into an interlocking mosaic of calcite, aragonite and/or dolomite crystals. The temperatures and pressures necessary to form marble usually destroy any fossils and sedimentary textures present in the original rock.  The colours of Marble we have at MarbleGraniteStone are Beijing White (Pure White), White Jade (Highly polished an perfectly pure White marble), Jade Green, Sunset Red, Brown, Yellow, Pink, Grey, Rosetta plus more so you colour choice for products is incredible!

Pure white marble is the result of metamorphism of very pure limestones. The characteristic swirls and veins of many colored marble varieties are usually due to various mineral impurities such as clay, silt, sand, iron oxides, or chert which were originally present as grains or layers in the limestone. Green coloration is often due to serpentine resulting from originally high magnesium Limestone or Dolostone with silica impurities. These various impurities have been mobilized and re-crystallised by the intense pressure and heat of the metamorphism.
