Marble is a truly spectacular stone, formed by nature
Marble is a truly spectacular stone and it comes in varying colours and patterns.
As it is formed by nature, each piece is unique. The veins that naturally run through the marble will vary from one piece to another depending on how it has formed.
Marble can be used in most places in the home, from countertops to sinks, from flooring to fireplaces. Bringing it into your home creates a feeling of luxury and style.
Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallised carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. It starts out as limestone, which over years with intense heat and pressure, begins to transform.
The veins that appear in Marble are caused by mineral deposits which settle into layers as the stone forms.
The characteristic swirls and veins of many coloured marble varieties are usually due to various mineral impurities such as clay, silt, sand, iron oxides, or chert which were originally present as grains or layers in the limestone.
