MARBLE
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from carbonate rocks through the process of contact metamorphism. It is composed mainly of calcite (CaCO3) and may contain other minerals such as micas, quartz, pyrite, iron oxides and graphite.

Characteristics of marble
Marble is distinguished by its predominant composition of calcite, together with the presence of other minerals such as micas and quartz, which give it a great variety of colours and veins. Its texture is generally smooth and can be polished to a shiny finish. It is appreciated for its strength and durability, although it requires proper maintenance to maintain its appearance.
Uses of marble
Marble is widely used in construction and interior decoration due to its elegance and beauty. It is used in countertops, flooring, wall and bathroom cladding, as well as in the manufacture of sculptures and architectural elements. In the oil industry, marble with high porosity and permeability can act as a reservoir for hydrocarbons and, hydrogeologically, it can function as an aquifer, storing large quantities of groundwater.
