Marble is a stone that has captivated the world with its beauty and elegance for centuries, with a unique veining pattern and smooth texture that makes it a highly sought-after material for various applications, from architecture to fine arts. But you don't have to be Michelangelo and know the ultra-fine contourings of the human torso
to utilise marble most effectively – in this blog, let's take a look at the characteristics of common marble stones and its best and easiest uses.
Marble is a metamorphic rock that originates from limestone. In non-geological layman's terms, limestone undergoes a transformation through intense heat and pressure that results in the formation of marble.
The beauty of marble lies in its crystalline structure, which allows light to penetrate the stone and which is what gives it its distinctive glow. With its wide range of colours, from pure white to rich shades of red, green, and black, marble offers endless possibilities for creating breathtaking designs. This is, from countertops and flooring to fine art, marble adds a touch of sophistication and luxury to any space.

While marble is a beautiful stone, it is not recommended for use in driveways. Marble is softer and more susceptible to scratching and staining compared to harder stones like granite. It is better suited for interior applications.
