Marble Countertops
Marble is a metamorphosed limestone, consisting chiefly of recrystallized calcite or dolomite. These properties give marble its high polish. Its colors range from solid white and black to rose, yellow, green and gray. This very heat-resistant material makes marble a top choice for a fireplace surround, and even a resting place for hot pots and pans. As with the granite, marble is quarried as a large block of stone and is then cut into slabs. Each slab is unique and adds elegance to any home.
