Marble has been used by kings for thousands of years because of its
beauty and grandeur. It begins as limestone that has undergone heat and
pressure. A transformation process takes place when the weight of
overlying material, pressure from crystal collisions, and heat from the
earth’s core generate temperatures in excess of 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit.
The texture of marble depends on the form, size, and uniformity of the
grains. The element components of marble determine the color of the stone.
