Marble

Marble is a metamorphic rock resulting from the metamorphism of limestone, collected from calcite (a crystalline form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3). It is broadly used for sculpture, as a building material, and in several other applications. The word 'marble' is colloquially used to refer to much other gravel that are capable of taking a high polish.
Artificial marble or faux marbling is a wall painting technique that imitates the color patterns of genuine marble. Marble dust can be shared with cement or synthetic resins to make reconstituted or refined marble.Some places named after the stone include Marble Arch, London; the Sea of Marmora; India's Marble Rocks; and the towns of Marble, Minnesota; Marble, Colorado; and Marble Hill, Manhattan, in New York. The Elgin Marbles are marble sculptures from the Parthenon that are on shown in the British Museum. They were brought to Britain through the Earl of Elgin.
