What Is Marble as a Natural Stone?

In simple geological term, marble is a metamorphic rock when limestone is passing through metamorphism process due to heat and pressure in the crust of the earth, be it on land or at the submarine level. Being a kind of limestone, marble is a calcareous type of rockcontaining chiefly calcite (CaCO3 compound) and other miscellaneous impurities including sands, clays, iron, and other minerals.

What Are Physical Properties of Marble Stone?

Most of the marbles found in lighter color shades and while is in abundance. Thanks to some impurities, marbles get grains & veins of different colored shades including gray, green, pink, and black.

It is resulting in unique and naturally beautiful patterns and designs on the surfaces of marble slabs and tiles.

Marble accepts polishing amazingly and resulting in a waxy and glossy surface is giving a thin transparent layer on the top of the mass with veins, color patches, and patterns. It renders marbles the best material for designing sculptures.

How Is Production of Marble Stone Takes Place Commercially?

The occurrence of marble is in large deposits ranging hundreds of feet thick layers in different places of the world. Therefore, we can mine marbles on large scales and required sizes of blocks. The latest quarrying technologies have improved production a lot and also made it cheaper than ever.
	The hardness of marble is at three (3) Moh’s scale. It means it is a soft natural stone and easy to cut and carve into different shapes like artistic objects and sculptures. Modern stone cutting technologies have eased the burden of exporters/importers and suppliers for rapid shipping and convenience.
We can cut marble blocks into dimension stones for a variety of interior and exterior applications in the construction industry. For instance, like slabs, tiles, and stacked stones in buildings. Maximum use of marble is in flooring as slabs or tiles.
	During quarrying, some rocks marbles come as rough stones of smaller sizes. These are crushing into aggregates or powders and used in different industries for various purposes like whitener, chalk, in animal feed, in the pharmaceutical industry, and so on.

Out of so many uses, today we will discuss only marble flooring with marble stone slabs and marble tiles commercially available everywhere across the globe.
