Yes, marble is a metamorphic rock. It forms from the metamorphism of limestone, which is a sedimentary rock, under high heat and pressure conditions.
Large crystals are diagnostic of an intrusive igneous rock, as large crystals form as the source magma cools slowly.

Yes, marble can have large crystals because it is a metamorphic rock that forms from the recrystallization of limestone. The size of the crystals in marble can vary depending on the specific conditions under which it formed.

Metamorphic rock is typically composed of interlocking crystals formed under high pressure and temperature conditions. This means that metamorphic rocks are crystalline in nature, with the crystals often aligned along a preferred orientation.
Crystals are the form that minerals take upon solidification. Metamorphic is a term used to describe a rock that undergoes a chemical or mineral transformation from heat or pressure. New crystals can form in rock undergoing metamorphosis, but the crystals themselves are not considered metamorphic.
Large crystals are diagnostic of an intrusive igneous rock, as large crystals form as the source magma cools slowly.
due to the large crystal grains of the rock and existence of feldspar and mica the rock could either be of igneous or metamorphic origin.incase it is of igneous origin the rock is intrusive igneous rock that form deep in the earth crust and cool at a relatively slow rate developing large crystals.in case of metamorphic origin the rock is high grade metamorphic rock that have experienced high metamorphic condition (high pressure and temperature);that is it is a gneiss that has characteristic coarse grains crystals.

Pegmatite rocks are known for having large crystals that form without a particular pattern. These rocks are often found in granite and have crystals that can be several centimeters to meters in size. The lack of clear crystal orientation in pegmatite is often due to the rapid cooling of the magma that forms them.
Pegmatite is actually an igneous rock, not a metamorphic rock. It forms from the slow cooling of magma deep underground, resulting in large crystals due to the slow rate of cooling and high concentrations of water and volatile elements. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, form from pre-existing rocks that undergo changes in response to heat, pressure, or chemical processes.
