Marble is a crystalline metamorphic rock, mainly composed of dolomite or calcite. Naturally occurring in various colors like white, black, blue, green, pink, and red, marble can be processed through grinding and polishing to reveal its elegant texture. Known for symbolizing luxury and monumentality, marble has a nearly unlimited lifespan, though it is less wear-resistant than granite. However, it is vulnerable to acids, prone to staining, and unsuitable for high-traffic floors or kitchen countertops due to its porousness and sensitivity to abrasives. Matching marble stones for large areas can be challenging due to natural color variations, but it is ideal for decorating fireplaces.
