Marble

A common metamorphic rock is marble, which is formed from the metamorphism of limestone. It is used both as a construction material and as a decorative facing stone. It also is the favorite material of sculptors, because it is soft enough to carve easily, yet has considerable strength.

One of the most famous sources of marble is from Carrara, ~100 km west-northwest of Florence, Italy. This is where Michelangelo spent considerable time looking for just the right piece of marble for his next statue
