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
