It's now a quartz-flooded limestone.

Calcite is commonly found in limestone rocks. It is a major component of limestone, along with other minerals such as aragonite and dolomite. Quartz, on the other hand, is not typically found in significant amounts in limestone.
Limestone can become marble through a process called metamorphism. When limestone is subjected to heat and pressure deep in the Earth's crust, its mineral composition changes, creating the crystalline structure and characteristic patterns that define marble. This process usually takes millions of years and transforms the original limestone into a harder, more dense, and more vibrant rock known as marble.
The difference between quartzite and quartz is that quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone under heat and pressure, while quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen. In quartzite, the grains of sandstone have been recrystallized into a interlocking mosaic of quartz crystals, giving it a more durable and non-porous nature compared to quartz.
Limestone is softer than granite. Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate, which is softer than granite, a type of igneous rock made up of various minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica.
Recrystallized limestone is generally called marble. Recrystallized quartz sandstone is generally called quartzite. There is no such thing as quartz limestone.

No. Marble is metamorphosed limestone, recrystallized from heat, pressure, or both.
