What is the difference between marble and granite?
Although both granite and marble are stone formed from the earth, the composition of granite and marble is very different. Granite was once a molten rock called magma that was created at very high temperatures and is found deep within the earth. Marble is created by a concentration of animal skeletons, shells, silt, and plant matter that has settled underwater. Marble’s main component is calcium, therefore, marble is much more pourous than granite and will erode over time. Granite is a much harder material that will last the test of time.
