Marble has been recognized for its beauty in home flooring, construction, and designer finishes for thousands of years. It is a great choice for stonework in a home or office because it lends elegance while reflecting one?s unique taste in a variety of colors and styles.

Marble is the epitome of classic style and elegance, the material of choice for the greatest sculptures of the Ancient Greeks and Romans as well as the Renaissance sculptors.

The marble comes from the word Latin word "Marmor" which, in turn, results from the Greek
"Marmairein" which means "rock of quality" or "white stone", in turn, the concept defines as geological marble metamorphic limestone, that is, composed of crystalline rock, crystals of calcite (calcitic marble) or dolomite (dolomitic marble), resulting from recrystallization of limestone or dolomite previously existing.

These elements create the patterns one can see in natural marble, which by the nature of their formation, are completely unique.
