Marble is basically metamorphosed limestone. Once a limestone is subjected to heat and pressure, the calcium carbonate re-crystallizes into marble. Marbles have similar characteristics to limestones. It can be used for both interior and exterior applications.

The characteristic swirls and veins of many coloured marble varieties are usually due to various mineral impurities such as clay, silt, sand, or iron oxides which were origionally present as grains or layers in the limestone.
