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
