SWM101 – Calacatta Gold

Description

Material Introduction:

Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from the recrystallization of limestone under high pressure and temperature over millions of years. This process causes the minerals in the limestone to transform into a denser, more crystalline structure. Marble is composed mainly of calcite (a mineral form of calcium carbonate) and sometimes includes other minerals like dolomite, mica, or clay, which contribute to its unique appearance.

The texture of marble is typically fine to medium-grained, giving it a smooth, elegant feel. Its surface can be polished to a high gloss, enhancing its natural beauty. Marble’s veining is one of its most distinct features. These veins are created by impurities in the original limestone, such as iron oxides, clay, or other minerals, and they can appear in a wide variety of patterns, from straight and uniform to bold, swirling designs.
