Marble Mining and Manufacturing From a $1 Billion Quarry | The Luxury Stone
Did you know that marbles are metamorphic rocks? This indicates that although they were formerly a different kind of rock, they have all undergone significant alteration from their igneous, sedimentary, or previous metamorphic forms. Marble has been in existence for a considerable amount of time. It has actually been a common building and home accent material for generations.

  • I used to transport templates to a location and then deliver the finished countertop to the customer on an A-frame. The sight of the marble in the racks, awaiting transformation, was truly captivating. The process, though challenging, is often overlooked by most, but the intricacies involved are beyond belief. Crafting these countertops requires an incredible amount of skill and effort, turning raw materials into exquisite pieces that grace homes.

I prefer using equipment of course, but you will notice that I was responding to someone who was asking how marble was cut 1000 years ago.
