Marble is a rock resulting from metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, most commonly limestone or dolomite. Metamorphism causes variable re-crystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains. The resulting marble rock is typically composed of an interlocking mosaic of carbonate crystals.

Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism. It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite (CaCO 3) and usually contains other minerals, such as clay minerals, micas, quartz, pyrite, iron oxides, and graphite.

2023年8月21日 · Marble is a type of metamorphic rock that is composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, usually calcite or dolomite. The physical origins of marble can be traced back to a combination of heat, pressure, and chemical activity that transforms existing sedimentary or igneous rocks into this distinctive rock type.

2020年8月20日 · Marble is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have undergone a change in composition due to intense heat and pressure. Marble begins as limestone before being subject to the changing process, referred to as metamorphism.

2024年1月4日 · Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from the transformation of limestone or dolomite under extreme heat and pressure. This process, known as metamorphism, alters the original carbonate mineral...

2019年12月1日 · Marble is a metamorphic rock formed when limestone is subjected to high pressure or heat. In its pure form, marble is a white stone with a crystalline and sugary appearance, consisting of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3). Usually, marble contains other minerals, including quartz, graphite, pyrite, and iron oxides.

2025年1月7日 · marble, granular limestone or dolomite (i.e., rock composed of calcium-magnesium carbonate) that has been recrystallized under the influence of heat, pressure, and aqueous solutions. Commercially, it includes all decorative calcium-rich rocks that can be polished, as well as certain serpentines (verd antiques).

2024年7月9日 · Marble forms from the metamorphism of limestone, a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcite (calcium carbonate). This transformation occurs under conditions of high pressure and temperature, typically at convergent plate …

2024年12月27日 · Marble is a metamorphic rock renowned for its exceptional beauty, versatility, and unique geological formation. It originates from limestone, which undergoes a remarkable transformation under intense heat and pressure over millions of years.

2024年11月25日 · Marble is a precious natural stone formed over thousands of years through the metamorphosis of limestone and dolomite rocks under high heat and pressure. Different types of marble are created through this transformation, each possessing unique beauty with varying colors, textures, and durability.
