Marble

Marble is known for its veins and wonderful shine. The patterns that run through every piece are unique and non-repeating. As well as veining, marble will have natural variations in colour and gloss level across the surface. Common marble colours include white, white and grey (Carrara), and beige (Crema Marfil).
Strong coloured marble is also available, including greens, reds and blacks, but these are less common. The best identifier that they are marble is the heavy veining pattern that usually covers them.
