Marble 



The granular crystalline limestones and dolomites which are 

 classed as marble occur in the Adirondack region and in the south- 

 eastern part of the State. They are mainly associated with metamor- 

 phosed Precambric strata. A few varieties of compact limestones, 

 such as the Trenton limestone at Glens Falls and the Chazy lime- 

 .stone of Clinton county, possess ornamental qualities that fit them 

 for special uses and are included under this head. 



The quarrying oi monumental marble is practically limited to 

 the region about Gouverneur, St Lawrence co. The industry has 

 been established here for many years, and the product has a wide 

 sale. The marble varies from nearly white to dark bluish gray, the 

 dark varieties being the more valuable. As only the best selected 

 stone can be used for monumental work, the poorer grades are 

 dressed into blocks for building and construction purposes.
