Marble is considered to have translucency to its surface finish that looks like human skin texture. It is the translucency that gives and marble sculpture some some realism when carved. Marble has the distinct advantage that when first quarried it is quite soft and easy to work and polish. As the sculpture ages it becomes harder and somewhat water resistant, although acid rain damages the outer levels considerably. Also when being worked the sculptor has to be very aware of the oils and moisture created by the human hand as this stains the marble causing a brownish mark to appear
It is massive (I.e. not foliated), occurs in attractive colour including a pure white and sometimes with decorative pattern, and it is soft enough to carve easily. Those properties make it useful for sculpture, carvings, and decorative stonework such as cladding stone for buildings and monuments. Furthermore, is consists or calcium carbonate, so it can be used to make cement and lime.
Okay, I will explain to you that, in the rainfall should had some kind of chemical like alkali, acid, salt, aldehyde, etc. Specially acid will interact with marble which contains calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to make the salt and liberates water vapour. The reason that surface of marble is not uniform as metal, so when the acid penetrates to the marble will make the result with porous coefficient differently. And you can see this very obviously this marbles surface will be rough touch. Of course this is long process not immediately after you fix the marble at the exposed area.
yes it was marble made the taj mahal
A marble paper veneer is a decorative material made from thin sheets of paper that are printed to resemble the appearance of marble. It is often used in interior design and crafting to provide a sophisticated look without the weight and cost of real marble. The veneer can be adhered to surfaces like furniture, walls, or art pieces, offering a stylish alternative for achieving a marble aesthetic. Its lightweight and flexible nature make it easy to work with for various applications.
Creating a marble road involves setting up a track with various twists, turns, and slopes to allow marbles to roll smoothly from start to finish. You can use materials like cardboard, tubes, or wooden blocks to construct the road and make it more challenging and fun. Experiment with different configurations to see what works best for your marbles to roll effectively.
Marble is used in building's because of how strong it is and that it doesn't break easily.
Marble is hard and durable, which makes it appeal to everyone. Marble and granite are both expensive, but complement homes in a great way.
they are useful because
because a year ago the rich people their house are made up of marble (metamorphic rocks)
Marble is relatively soft (calcite, the predominate mineral in marble is a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale) making it easy to work with, and the intertwined mineral crystalline structure from its recrystallization from limestone or dolomite also makes it less likely to fracture when struck with a tool. Marble will also take a polish, and has a translucency that gives it a pleasing appearance.

One way to make a marble float is by using a density experiment. You can dissolve different amounts of salt in water to create solutions with varying densities. If you carefully drop the marble into the solution with a density close to that of the marble, it should float.
Limestone can be processed to make marble.
