Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Marble is typically not foliated, although there are exceptions. In geology, the term marble refers to metamorphosed limestone, but its use in stonemasonry more broadly encompasses unmetamorphosed limestone.

Besides its classic beauty, this type of natural stone is excellent when it comes to durability and heat resistance. Marble countertops are the favorite among house owners, since they’re durable and enhance your property value. Each marble slab is unique: countertops made of this material can last for ages.
