Marble types

Natural marble is formed in the form of crystalline stones due to a number of natural factors that occur in the internal layers of the earth from high temperature and soil pressure and many others, which collectively work to form a marble stone in different colors and shapes and with varying degrees of hardness, which helped to form several types of natural marble with qualities Different for human use, and these types: Calcite marble, which contains low levels of magnesium carbonate, which is less than 5% of the total components. Dolmiti marble, it is characterized by its high levels of magnesium carbonate, which vary between 5% to 40% of the composition of marble, according to the nature of the areas in it. Agate marble, which is characterized by containing solid calcium carbonate, which was formed as a result of the gradual accumulation of cold solutions passing through small rivers. This marble is characterized by its transparent yellow, brown and green colors, and is often found in nature in layers. Live stone marble, also known as aqueous magnesium silicate marble, is dominated by serpentine mineral composition.
