What is Marble?

Marble is a sedimentary material, usually dolomite rock that has endured intense pressure and heat. In these conditions, it re-crystallizes 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.  Marble materials are not as hard as granite materials.
