Marble

Marble is one of the oldest and most beautiful stones on the market for countertops. It’s a metamorphic stone that is a result of limestone being subjected to immense amounts of pressure for a long period of time. Marble’s popularity began in ancient Rome and Greece, where white and off-white marble was used to construct a variety of structures from hand-held sculptures to massive pillars.

The Greeks and the Romans chose marble for their structures because of its beauty. Aside from statues and buildings, colored marble was used to create beautiful tile flooring. The color of marble varies due to different minerals that are present in the stone.
