Marble is a type of - rock?
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.
