Marble is More than Flooring


For centuries, marble has been treated as one of nature’s most beautiful resources. This miraculous material was formed roughly 60 to 600 million years ago, when limestone was subjected to intense heat and pressure. It literally went through a chemical metamorphosis that resulted in not only a more visually appealing but substantially stronger element than normal limestone.

Marble Making History

Shining marble is made possible because the stone has a natural property that not only enables it to have a very high polish but also allows light to penetrate it and thus create a delicate “glow” in its surface. The best marbles were destined for ambitious monumental construction since ancient times and the tradition continues today.  The Parthenon in Rome, the Taj Mahal, Was樂威壯
hington Monument, United States Supreme Court Building, and Lincoln Memorial all employ Marble in its architecture.

Famous art works include many ancient Greek creations such as the Bust of Artemis in addition to Michelangelo’s David and Pietà sculptures.
