Granite is a coarse or medium-grained intrusive igneous rocks rich in quartz and feldspar mainly. It is considered one of the most common subterranean rocks of the earth’s crust, and it is formed by cooling the magma resulting from melting silicates in the depths of the earth
The color of the granite depends on the type of crystals present in it which results in a variety of mixed colors,.
Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism. It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) and usually contains other minerals, such as clay minerals, micas, quartz, pyrite, iron oxides, and graphite. Under the conditions of metamorphism, the calcite in the limestone recrystallizes to form a rock that is a mass of interlocking calcite crystals.
Marble has many unique properties that make it a valuable rock in many different industries.
Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula CaCO3. It is a common substance found in rocks as the minerals calcite and aragonite (most notably as limestone, which is a type of sedimentary rock consisting mainly of calcite) and is the main component of eggshells, snail shells, seashells and pearls.
Calcium carbonate is critical to the construction industrys
