Serpentine is the green mineral in this rock known as serpentinite.
Marble green metamorphic rock.
Marble may be foliated.
When metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks takes place in the crust of earth due to contact of hot magma the calcite rocks such as limestone or dolomites are turned into marble.
It typically occurs in shiny streamlined forms asbestos fibers being the most notable exception.
Metamorphism causes variable recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains.
Green marble green marble.
Form of it when limestone buried deep in the older layers of earth s crust is subjected to heat and pressure from thick layers of overlying sediments.
However stonemasons use the term more broadly to encompass unmetamorphosed limestone.
Marble is a rock resulting from metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks most commonly limestone or dolomite rock.
Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism.
Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals most commonly calcite or dolomite.
In geology marble is a metamorphic rock.
The resulting marble rock is typically composed of an interlocking mosaic of carbonate crystals.
Geologists use the term marble to refer to metamorphosed limestone.
Marble marble is a granular metamorphic rock it is derived from limestone or dolomite and it consists of a mass of interlocking grains of calcite or the mineral dolomite.
