Marble
| Colour, characteristics: | Colours rarely pure white, mostly mottled, spotted, veined, veined or striped, possible in all shades. Marble is a mono-mineral rock made of calcite. Minor constituents are chlorite, epidote, mica, garnets, limonite, pyrite, quartz and serpentine. Bulky, medium to coarse crystalline structure, the individual minerals can be recognised with the naked eye. Extremely compact, translucent at edges. |
| Formation: | Through intensive transformation (metamorphosis) from limestone as a result of high pressures and temperatures. The typical "marbled" appearance is created by the addition of foreign components. |
| Locations: | Fichtelgebirge, Austria (Tyrol, Carinthia), Switzerland (Ticino, Valais), Italy (Tuscany, South Tyrol), England (Devonshire), France, Spain, Greece <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
