What is the Difference between Marble & Granite?
Both are natural stones quarried from the earth, along with Limestone, Travertine and Onyx. Granite is a very hard stone created deep in the earth, formed from crystallized minerals under extremely high pressure & temperature. Marble starts out as sediment – shells, plant matter, silt and even animal skeletons (you wanted to know) This super hot mass starts to rise after millions of years of resting on the bottom of bodies of water, it solidifies as it cools into a hard stone known as marble. **Note: Because it is naturally high in calcium content, Marble can be affected by acids such as fresh fruit drinks and even vinegar!
