DEFNING MARBLE
In geology, marble is a metamorphic rock derived from limestone, mainly composed of calcite crystals. Marbles exhibit a wide variety of colors, although the base color of calcite is white. They often feature veins known as veining. The veins and colors are typically due to inclusions of metallic oxides.
A BIT OF HISTORY
Since ancient times, marble has been associated with art and human ambition. It is indeed a rare, heavy, fragile, and precious material that only masters can work with. “Invented” by ancient Greece, it was first sculpted into rigid funerary idols by the Cycladic civilization, and later used in massive blocks for prestigious religious (statues of deities, temples, tombs) or political (stadiums) architectural creations.
