Giallo Reale...

All Marble was once limestone and pure white in colour.
Veined Marbles derive their special characteristics from the variation on colour and size of the crystals in different areas of the stone.

Most calcareous stones have been formed by sediments accumulated on the sea bottom. Physical and chemical changes then transform them into Marble.

The name Marble is commercially given to almost any calcareous rock that can be deeply polished.
