Marble is one of the ornamental stones used in sculpture and interior and exterior of buildings. The marbles available to us today are the result of metamorphic changes in temperature and high pressures. Every small piece of these rocks is millions of years old.

 In fact, the conditions required for the formation of marble exist only in the deep layer of the earth's crust. The identified marbles have a wide variety of designs, colors and strengths. What distinguishes these stones from each other is the presence of various impurities in the raw material of marble.

Apart from marble, what other stones are there to use in the building?

To date, over 27 attractive and diverse types of marble have been extracted from different parts of the world. In addition to these models, other ornamental stones are also used in the construction and sculpture industry. Granite and travertine are among the most famous of these stones, each of which has attracted attention due to their unique properties.

All three types of marble, granite and travertine are natural stones that have formed under special conditions over millions of years. Each of these rocks is made of different raw materials that have been recycled under different physical and mechanical conditions.

Travertine is formed in hot springs. Marble is a type of non-layered metamorphic rock, and granite is made from molten material inside or outside. Although all three stones have their own advantages, granite is known to be the most durable.
