Why Marble Countertops?
Considered by many to be the height of elegance, marble generally will last longer than most kitchen countertops. It is, however, expensive and requires some care: acidic foods such as orange juice will etch the finished surface of a marble kitchen countertop. Marble consists chiefly of calcite or dolomite, or a combination of these carbonate minerals, and is a type of metamorphic rock formed from limestone. Marble is found in many countries, including Belgium, France, Great Britain, Greece, India, Italy, and Spain.
