What is Marble, Limestone Onyx and Natural Stone?

Marble is a metamorphic rock made out of limestone or dolomite: When  limestone or dolomite is subjected to tremendous pressure and heat for a long time, it gets squashed into marble. Marble is found in the mountainous regions. Turkey is one of the most rich and popular source of marble and limestone with holding %40 percent of world natural stone reserves and with the highest variety of colors.

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate, plus calcium and/or magnesium. It is formed when layers of minerals (particularly calcite), fine sediment, and the skeletons and shells of marine organisms undergo lithification. Terrestrially-formed limestone is known as travertine.
