Marble is a metamorphic rock primarily composed of calcite or dolomite crystals. It typically exhibits a crystalline structure that can appear as interlocking, coarse-grained crystals, giving it a distinctive, often banded or veined appearance. The crystal shape can vary, but they generally form in a rhombohedral shape, contributing to the stone's aesthetic qualities when polished.
minerals get its crystal shape by the heating and pressure from rock
The grain shape of marble is typically interlocking. This means that the individual mineral grains in the marble are tightly interwoven or interlocked with each other, forming a solid and dense structure.
No, a marble is typically spherical in shape. It is not commonly shaped as an oval.
Yes, crystal shape is a physical property. It refers to the external geometric form that a crystal takes, which is determined by the arrangement of atoms within the crystal lattice. The shape of a crystal can provide information about its internal structure and symmetry.
When a mineral forms a definite shape, it is known as a crystal. Crystals are ordered arrangements of atoms or ions in a repeating pattern that gives them their characteristic shape. Crystal shape is determined by the internal arrangement of atoms within the mineral.
it has a very tight crystalline structure and small but definite porosity
A marble has a spherical shape, and so has Mercury. But Mercury is a bit flattened at the poles, which a marble is not, so a marble is a more perfect sphere.
Marble is a rock and rocks don't have crystal structures. However, marble does have a crystalline texture of visible interlocked calcite or dolomite mineral grains.

Pearls are not crystalline and don't have a crystal shape.
Agate, being a cryptocrystalline (microscopic crystal structure) form of quartz, does not have a crystal shape.

Because Glass doesn't have a crystal structure.
Spherical! Hope this helps :)
