Marble is a kind of metamorphic
rock which forms when limestone undergoes heat and pressure changes which leads
to its metamorphosis. Marble is
composed of mineral calcite (CaCO3) and contains other minerals like
micas, pyrite, quartz, iron oxides, graphite and clay. During metamorphism
calcite which is present in the limestone re-crystallizes to form a kind of
rock which is a mass of interlocking calcite crystals.
Marble has been increasingly
been used for decorating interior and exterior surfaces of properties in the Melbourne area. Melbourne residents like to utilise Marble stone often for decorating their properties. Whether it is
marble bench tops, shelves, sculpture or flooring marble stone is able to
provide softness and beauty everywhere it is used.
Marble has been extracted and used
since classic times due to its easy carve ability, relative isotropy,
homogeneity and resistance to shattering. Marble has a low index of refraction
allowing light to travel through the stone several millimetres in depth. This
gives a characteristic waxy look giving life to marble structures. Due to this
reason marble is a preferred material especially for sculptures.
