The pure white marble is formed from pure limestone and the color variation is because of presence of various impurities like iron oxides, chert, silica, sand and silt. The green striations found in the marble stone are because of high magnesium limestones or dolostone with impurities from silica. These impurities get deeply embedded and fortified because of the immense heat generated during metamorphism.

The fine texture of the stone, relative isotropy, homogeneity and crack resistance makes the stone most preferred.

This is one very great characteristic peculiar to the marble stone.
