Marble is well-known for its qualities like durability, easy maintenance, resistance to bad weather and the incredibly amazing collection of colours, however there are also a few more properties that will make you choose it for your next renovation project.

Because of its density and durability marble is also hypoallergenic. Therefore, it is a popular choice for people with allergies or for families with small kids.
Marble is heat resistant, it doesn’t absorb heat or energy quickly and is quite suitable for countries with hot climate. That is one of the reasons why this amazing stone is so often found in the Mediterranean countries and in India.
There are no two slabs of marble that have exactly the same pattern. This makes the stone so unique but also means that you have to pay extra attention when choosing floor or wall tiles and always order from the same batch.
Marble can be a host rock for corundum, spinel and other gem minerals, even rubies. There is an interesting specimen of white marble with a large red ruby in it found in Afghanistan.
When marble is cut into blocks and slabs of specific size it is referred to as “dimension stone”.

As you can see marble has amazing visible and hidden features and usages and can be part of our everyday life in many forms. We can truly describe it as one of the miracles of mother nature.
