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.

    Yes. Best to leave it in the mountain where nobody can see it. Ever. Just another large hill. My problem is people chopping it into tiny knicknacks that get thrown away, like souvenirs, etc. This should be reserved for big projects like the Taj Mahal, The Duomo, the David, etc. My parents had a Connemara Marble ashtray. no clue where it is now. Dont care. What a waste.

    Interesting quarrying! Marble is a metamorphic calcite with a Mohs hardness of 3 and will etch easily, removing the polished surface and is not suited for countertops in my opinion. Granite with a hardness of 7 is a much better material that is bulletproof compared to marble.

Perhaps they used slaves or just craftsmen. From what we were told, it was actually fairly easy to split the rock with water soaked wedges and temperature changes. 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.
