Marble 



The granular crystalline limestones and dolomites classed as 

 marble are found in the metamorphosed areas of the Adirondacks 

 and southeastern New York. A few varieties of compact, non- 

 crystalline limestones, such as the black limestone of the Trenton 

 formation occurring at Glens Falls and the fossiliferous Chazy 

 limestone along Lake Champlain, possess ornamental qualities 

 that fit them for special uses and pass as marble in the trade. 



The monumental marble is obtained principally in the vicinity 

 of Gouverneur, St Lawrence co., where a large quarry and pol- 

 ishing industry has been established for many years. The stone 

 has a coarse crystalline texture, a color varying from white to 

 mottled white and gray, often quite dark gray, and takes a lus- 

 trous polish. As only the best of the quarry material can be 

 u.sed for monumental work, the poorer grades arc dressed into
