MARBLE

Marble is a natural stone formed from fossil sediment deposits, which have been placed under the earth’s tremendous pressure for at least a few million years. The combination of the natural materials in these deposits, along with natural geologic events, produces unique veining with a richness of depth and intensity. Marble material is generally softer than granite; therefore, scratching occurs more so on marble. This characteristic should be considered when making your stone selection. Generally, marble countertops are recommended for such places as: bathrooms, bar tops, fireplaces, etc. and granite countertops are generally utilized for kitchen countertops.
