Marble

Marble is a crystalline, compact variety of metamorphosed limestone. The distinctive sheen of marble is caused by light penetrating a short distance into the stone and then being reflected by the surfaces of the inner crystals. Marble is considerably softer than granite and is therefore subject to greater wear and weathering. However, like granite, marble adds a touch of class and sophistication to architectural decoration. Marble is generally the preferred material for bathroom installation - vanities and both wall and floor tiles as well as fire surrounds.

Surfaces must be protected from scratching or staining and therefore marble is not suitable for environments where it will be exposed to harsh air pollutants and/or chemicals or dyes, including those common to many foods.
