| | | Tumbled Marble Michaelangelo's David is carved from a single block of Carrara marble - the Tuscan quarry that is the home of the purest marble known to the Old World. AI! pure marble is white and comparatively 'soft' to work. It has therefore been much loved by sculptors for statues and home architects for public buildings over the centuries. Marble is a crystalline, metamorphic rack born of limestone or dolostone. Sometimes impurities in the original limestone cause colours or banding to appear in the marbles as they form and these are highly prized for floors and claddings. Our marble is cut into contemporary tiles and carefully tumbled in drums to soften its edges as well as its appearance. | | |
