Formation and use of marbles

            As the leading company of Marble Sydney, we like to share the formation of marble.Marble is formed through metamorphism. Thus marble is said as metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock is formed when lime stone is subjected to the heat and pressure. Before metamorphism, limestone has calcite, this calcite is often in the form of lithified fossil material and biological debris. In the early stages of the limestone-to-marble transformation, the calcite crystals in the rock are toosmall. As metamorphism progresses, the crystals grow larger and become easily observable as interlocking crystals of calcite. The variations in colours are due to the amount of impurity concentration and the duration of metamorphosis.

            Marble is renowned for its beauty. It is mainly used for architecture and sculpture.  When thinking of marble, for many, white colour stone with creamy texture comes front to many people. But Gitani stone, provides marble Sydney with more than 300 colours each with unique style in full slabs.

The fact of marble is that marble had been used for flooring since ancient times. The marble generally originates as limestone or dolomite. Though marble has a more appeasing appearance than limestone, it can also be very pricey. It is typically found among other metamorphic rock such as gneiss and mica schist. Marble usually lay among the oldest part of the earth crust.
