Marble, a metamorphic rock used in decorating and architecture, is found in the United States and some Mediterranean countries in Europe. Marble is mined from the ground.
Marble is a rock composed of calcite, a crystalline form of calcium carbonate. The word marble is from the Greek and refers to the shining, sparkling appearance of the stone. Many of the world's most famous sculptures are made of the prized white marbles, which are relatively soft and uniform in composition. Ground marble is used in products such as some papers and paints and in toothpaste (listed as calcium carbonate). Marble is porous; if untreated, oils will stain it easily. Its finish can also be damaged by acids.marbles have been used for sculpting
Metamorphosed limestone or dolomite. Calcium, Carbon, Oxygen, Magnesium (dolomitic marble only).
It tolerates some dry heat. If you apply enough heat, the marble will calcine. This is a step in making cement.
what are some facts about erosion
The metamorphic rock marble would react with hydrochloric acid.
Marble rock starts out as limestone. It undergoes heat and pressure. That turns it to marble.

marble arch caves are really interesting to see and there is 150 steps to climb
Italy produces some of the best Marble in the world.

If you use bleach on marble it may etch it. Some marble can handle bleach or cleaning products with bleach in them.
Yes he did. Some claim he chose the slabs of marble he wanted at the quarry.
Marble is a metamorphic rock. It is formed from the metamorphism (recrystallization) of limestone or dolomite rock. From Ftmmachinery's passage about marble facts (blog/what-is-marble-rock.html), I know: Under the intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, the minerals in the limestone or dolomite undergo a process of transformation, resulting in the formation of marble. This process causes the original minerals to recrystallize, creating the characteristic crystalline structure and unique patterns and colors found in marble.
Hard and stoney. :)

Marble is quiet variable in color and some places in the world it is optically clear. Other stocks can be sugar white. Suggest you do an image search for marble to get some ideas.' 'One note: The famous Tennessee marble is not technically marble but crystallized limestone. The give-a-way is that fossils may still be found in the Tennessee marble. By definition marble must have been wholly and completely metamorphosed such that nothing of the original rock fabric remains.
Stone or maybe marble
