| Marble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (579 words) |
 | The Elgin Marbles are marble sculptures taken from the Parthenon to Britain by the Earl of Elgin. |
| Marble is a metamorphic rock resulting from regional or at times contact metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, either limestone or dolostone. |
| The characteristic swirls and veins of many colored marble varieties are usually due to various mineral impurities such as clay, silt, sand, iron oxides, or chert which were originally present as grains or layers in the limestone. |
