Marble is a metamorphic rock in the limestone family. When materials such as fossils, rock and sundry minerals recrystallize under extreme heat and pressure, marble is formed. During this process, veins are formed throughout the marble, making each piece distinct and difficult to duplicate. Marble can vary in size and color and can be cut to your specific needs.
Removal
1. Marble must be dug out from other rocks and is done so in large quantities.
Size
2. Marble is quarried in large sizes, which are cut down to varying sizes to marble small enough to be marble tiles in your home.
Appearance
3. Marble gets a worn, well-used look by tumbling the pieces inside a large drum containing sand.
Defects
4. Marble that has been processed may acquire cracks and small faults, which are sealed with pigmented resin to help keep the cracks from growing and ruining the marble tiles.
History
5. As early as 27 B.C., marble tiles were used by Romans when building structures to celebrate their gods.
