Marble is a metamorphic rock, formed as a result of complex geological processes within Earth's crust.

Originally in a form of limestone or dolomite rocks, marble is born under high temperatures and pressure that causes a complete recrystallization of the original rock into an interlocking mosaic of calcite and/or dolomite crystals. The temperatures and pressures necessary to form marble usually destroy any fossils and sedimentary textures present in the original rock.

The word "marble" derives from the Greek marmaros, "shining stone". As a favorite material of Roman and Greek sculptors and architects, marble still holds its position as a symbol of subtle taste and tradition.

Due to it's particular characteristics; relative softness, interesting patterns and 'waxy' looks, marble has given life to many famous sculptures, such as Michelangelo's David, made of prized Carrara marble.

Nowdays, marble is utmost used in interior design, as it can be seen decorating the foyers of famous buildings or sophisticated private interiors, where good taste meets practial solutions. Visually appealing, easy to maintain and engineered superior to other materials, marble makes number one choice in coating of staircases, walls, floors and bathrooms.
