Marble’s use in architecture, art and design can be traced back many thousands of years to early Egyptian and Mesopotamian cultures. Athens’ Parthenon, Rome’s Pantheon, Agra’s Taj Mahal, London’s Marble Arch and Michelangelo’s masterpiece ”David” are just some of the historic instances where marble has been used.
The word ‘marble’ is derived from the Greek ‘marmaros’ and is interpreted as ”a snow white and spotless stone”, despite the fact that marble has many colour variants. Types of marble are equally variable, from Tuscany’s pure white/grey Carrara marble to limestone, green marble and cultured marble (a composite of marble dust and cement).
