MARBLE 
Marble, in the commercial sense, like granite, includes a variety 
of rocks that lend themselves to building or decorative uses. Most 
commonly, the name signifies a crystalline aggregate of calcite or

marbles. Fossil marbles, black marbles, and a few other kinds are 
commonly of the noncrystalline type. Serpentine marble, or verde
