Marble

A metamorphic rock composed primarily of recrystallized minerals such as calcite, CaCO3, dolomite, CaMg(CO3)2, or both. Pure calcite is white in color, but the presence of some other minerals as impurities makes it extremely splendid and beautiful.

For example, hematite adds red color, limonite yellow, and serpentine green; Deposide blue. Marble can be polished to an extreme degree and is used mainly for sculpture and construction purposes. The largest marble deposits are found in Italy, Great Britain, and the United States.

Commercially, the term marble was extended to include any rock composed of calcium carbonate that can be polished and usually contains limestone. The term also includes some rocks, such as alabaster, serpentine, and sometimes granite.

The marble surface is easily affected by humid climates and acid rain in particular, but it is chemically stable in dry climates and away from rain. The purest type of marble is known as statuesque marble and is white in color with a visible crystalline structure. The distinctive luster of statuesque marble results from light penetrating short distances into the rock and then reflecting through the surfaces of the internal crystals.

There are many different types of Turkish marble, each with its own unique characteristics. Some types of marble contain a high percentage of iron, while others contain high amounts of calcium carbonate. The abundance or scarcity of these components in its structure causes marble to have a unique color. Different colored types of Turkish marble such as red, pink and brown are extracted from marble quarries in different regions of Turkey.
