It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) and usually contains other minerals, such as clay minerals, micas, quartz, pyrite, iron oxides, and graphite. Under the conditions of metamorphism, the calcite in the limestone recrystallizes to form ... Read More

Marble Ma  rble stone is a type of limestone that has undergone a high temperature and high pressure exchange. In this transformation, fine-calcite crystals crystallize and converge into coarse crystals. The veins in the marble rock are related to impurities in the primary limestone. this rocks are denser than travertine rocks, ... Read More
