Also known as recrystallized limestone

Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of carbonate minerals (most commonly calcite (CaCO3) or dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) that have recrystallized under the influence of heat and pressure. It has a crystalline texture, and is typically not foliated (layered), although there are exceptions.

AI overview

Marble is a hard, crystalline rock formed when heat and pressure transform carbonate minerals like calcite deep within the Earth. It has been valued throughout history for sculpture, building, and decoration because of its beauty, durability, and workability.
