Marble forms when limestone is compressed and heated by the natural rock-forming processes so that the grains re crystallize. As the marble forms the calcite crystals lock together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. These crystals give marble its natural luster. The marble veins are formed by inclusions of other non-calcite minerals. Petit Granit marble is quarried in Belgium. The Grey color and beautiful grain of the stone is highly prized in architecture and art.
