sketchfab

See the vast collection of Ornamental Stones from Vermio Mountains in Greece, numbered as 2085, measuring 12 x 8 x 2 cm in size. This specimen is a Type of Metamorphic rock known as Marble. Marble is a medium to coarse-grained, non-foliated, metamorphosed carbonate rock, composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and originating from limestone or dolomite rocks. In the field of Geology, Marble has a more specific meaning than in commercial contexts. Its importance lies in its use as building material, both in its raw form and as polished slabs. Calcite is an essential mineral found in Marble, while Graphite, Pyrite, and Ilmenite may be present but are not essential to the rock's composition.
