Marble is a sedimentary rock, which consist of limestone that has undergone heat and pressure metamorphosis under temperatures in excess of 1800ºF. The texture of marble depends on the form, size and uniformity of grains.

The element components of marble determine the color of the stone. Generally calcite and dolomite marbles are of pure white color. Variations of whiteness of pure marbles are due to the mixture of foreign substances

Marble is one of the metamorphic rocks in existence. It contains either dolomite or calcite or a combination of both elements. Due to these special properties, this rock is a good component for building strong monuments and buildings.

Marbles are produced by metamorphism of limestone and dolomite. They contain interlocking grains of calcite or dolomite minerals and hence their structure is said to be granulose
