Marble is any metamorphosed limestone without a strong foliation i.e. a limestone that metamorphosed without strong strain in any particular direction to produce a consistent structure in that direction. It's a relatively specific term in geology, but a lot of other rocks are informally called marble which aren't really true marble - often they're unmetamorphosed fine grained limestones, or something similar.
Marble is made from limestone.

Marble has a hardness of around 3-4 on the Mohs scale, which measures the hardness of minerals. This means that marble is a relatively soft stone compared to others.
Marble can contain small gas bubbles, typically trapped during the formation process when the stone was still in a molten state. These gas bubbles can give marble a speckled or cloudy appearance, adding to its unique character.
Marble is a very soft 'somewhat brittle' stone. This means that slabs of marble are relatively easy to carve and polish. However, when cut into hearth size slabs e.g. 3" thick x 5' long moving it becomes quite a task. Marble is also strong and durable and can withstand rough weather.
