Marble is formed from limestone being buried, heated and subjected to pressure, causing minerals to recrystallise into different atomic structures, forming different minerals to the original limestone. In laymans terms this is the process that occurs to form all metamorphic rocks.
The type of metamorphic rock formed is dependant on the chemical and mineral composition of the source rock, and the amount of heat and pressure the source rock is subjected to.
