Physical-Chemical Nature of Marble Decorativeness

Marble is fully metamorphic recrystallized limestone, decorative properties of which are formed as a result of geological processes. Natural marble is characterized by strength, resistance to atmospheric impacts and, primarily, by decorativeness. Decorativeness factors are the marble structure, its transparency and coloration.
