Marble is a natural stone that can be found in special places across the globe. From the rainforest in Brazil, to the savannahs in Africa, marble is everywhere. Only a relatively small portion of marble is mined. Marble has been an icon of luxury and exclusivity for centuries. The Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Dome of Florance are completely build based on this beautiful material. Marble is formed as a chalkstone and gets exposed to high temperatures. This happens deep down under the earth’s crust. The chalkstone crystalizes and forms beautiful patterns that we often recognize in the many veins of the material. Marmble is sensitive and deserves extra attention. Because it is a soft stone type, it is sensitive for scratches. If you choose for marble, you do it to embrace these characteristics. All these small scratches give marble its unique, lively appearance. Just like the century-old Italian buildings.
