Marble is a popular natural stone known for its variety of colors, textures and patterns. Here are some common colors, textures and patterns of marble and how they are formed:
Color:
Marble comes in a variety of colors, including white, gray, black, beige, yellow, green, red, brown, etc. These colors are mainly determined by the mineral composition contained in the marble. For example, marble with a higher iron oxide content may appear red or brown, while marble containing magnesium carbonate may appear green.
Texture:
Marble also has very rich textures, including straight lines, cracks, group flow patterns and reticulated lines.
Straight grain: Such as French wood grain gray, rainbow wood grain and blue sand, etc. These straight grain marbles have clear texture and give people a simple and generous feeling.
Cracks: Such as Calacatta, Snowflake White, Dark Brown Net, Laurent Black, etc. These marbles show irregular linear textures that extend and expand, from thick to thin, and look like traces of cracks on the brick surface. The thickness and density of cracks are different, and the decorative styles they bring are also very different.
Mass flow pattern: such as cappuccino, golden flower beige, cloisonné, cloud dora gray, etc. The mass flow pattern is in the shape of a mass, like a whirlpool of water or clusters of brocade flowers. The texture is rich and prosperous, and the decorative effect is noble and steady.
Reticular line patterns: such as Rainforest Brown, Rainforest Green, Sofitel Gold, etc. The textures of these marbles are criss-crossed, like flowing clouds and flowing water, creating a smart space beauty.
Pattern:
The pattern of the marble is also part of its unique charm. Because marble is formed in a complex geological environment, its patterns are diverse and may include animal and plant remains, mineral crystals, etc. These patterns give marble unique artistic value and cultural connotation.
Feature formation:
Marble's color, texture, and pattern are all developed gradually during its formation. Marble is mainly composed of calcium carbonate. Over the long geological era, due to the influence of crustal movement, magma activity, sedimentation and other factors, calcium carbonate has undergone chemical reactions and physical changes with other mineral components, forming a rich variety of colors and texture. At the same time, the embedding of underwater animal and plant remains also adds unique patterns and beauty to the marble. These natural factors work together to give each piece of marble its unique personality and charm.
