Marble is used principally for buildings and monuments, interior decoration, statuary, table tops, and novelties. Color and appearance are their most important qualities. Resistance to abrasion, which is a function of cohesion between grains as well as the hardness of the component minerals, is important for floor and stair treads. The ability to transmit light is important for statuary marble, which achieves its luster from light penetrating from about 12.7 to 38 mm (0.5 to 1.5 inches) from where it is reflected at the surfaces of deeper lying crystals. Brecciate, colored marbles, onyx marble, and verd antique are used principally for interior decoration and for novelties.
