ROCK TOPS AND ROCK TOPS OF MARBLE

Using Marble – Rock Tops, Saline, Michigan

Marble comes from various varieties from which it is named, from the quarry that

it comes from – such as Paros, Pentelli of Greece and Carrara of Italy.

Marble, crystallized limestone is composed of quartz and orthoclase, or

sometimes microcline. Typically marble is used on construction of buildings,

sculpture and monuments. Advantage technology and surface finishes have

made marble applicable for other types of surfaces. A polished finish provides

depth and richness of color for sinks and vanities and honed finishes creates

non-slippery flooring.

Faux marbling is a painting technique that is used to mimic the color and pattern

of marble. Marble can also be mixed with synthetic resins to create a cultured

marble appearance.

Although marble is primarily used in the construction industry, today marble it's a

popular decorative choice and is also imitated due to its colorful pattern.
