Marble is metamorphosed limestone consisting of very pure calcium carbonate. The different types of marble have densities between 2.5 and 2.8. Due to its beautiful, almost transparent light, consistency, relative isotropy and homogeneity, marble is very popular in sculpture and can be easily worked by hand. The temperatures and pressures required to transform limestone into marble are so high that any fossils present in the limestone are destroyed.
