Marble is formed from limestone by heat and pressure in the earth’s crust. These forces cause the limestone to change in texture and makeup. This process is called recrystallisation.
Marble has long been highly valued for its beauty, strength, and resistance to fire and erosion. The ancient Greeks used marble in many buildings and statues. The Italian artist Michelangelo used marble from Carrara, Italy, in a number of sculptures.

The veining is a distinctive feature of marble. These glistening veins are basically patterns made by the minerals that fill the cracks in the limestone, the origin of marble. The veining in every marble stone is unique. With a real natural marble you will always own a unique product.

Marble does not heat up quickly and does not absorb heat energy when compared to the other materials like concrete and wood. Marble is used to cool the interiors of the spaces. Hence marble is so widely used for flooring in countries with long and dry Summer.

Marble is also hypoallergenic as its density and porosity is low. It does not attract mold, dust and termites. Which eventually makes for a low maintenance product. The Taj Mahal still standing in all its glory after more than 400 years is an example of its durability.
