Marble is a metamorphic rock that usually originates as limestone or dolomite. It’s typically found among the oldest part of the Earth’s crust and among other metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and mica schist. While it’s primarily white in color, there are also marbles that come in other colors.
Marble is used in the construction of buildings. The most famous man-made structure that’s made entirely of marble is the Taj Mahal.
