What Are the Marble Prices and Marble Types?

The hard stones formed due to metamorphism and crystallization of limestone and dolomitic limestones under different temperatures and pressures are called marble.

These natural stones, which took centuries to form, are used as many building materials. As the place where the marbles are extracted is called a marble quarry, the variety and quality of marbles vary according to the structure of each quarry. For this reason, marble prices and marble types vary according to the area where it's extracted, its color, and its degree of hardness.

Under the influence of the intense pressure and temperature formed underground, the limestones undergo metamorphism; thus, marble is formed because of the compression of calcite crystals. Therefore, the actual formation of marble depends on the compression of calcite crystals. Marble, a great gift of nature to human beings, needs centuries to form.

Natural and Flamboyant Marbles

Marble, one of the most used natural stones, can be used on different surfaces and floors. Its wide scale encourages the use of marble in many indoor and outdoor areas, from homes to workplaces, from bathrooms to gardens, in daily life. Marble, a natural stone, must be carefully removed and professionally processed. In this way, it does not lose its natural properties and has high efficiency during use.

How Many Types of Marble?

Marble varieties differ according to the structure of the region they are located in. Marble in each region has a different color, vein, and degree of hardness compared to another region. Although the marbles extracted in our country are generally diversified according to their colors, the marbles extracted in the Afyon region are of extremely high quality and value.

Marbles are classified according to their colors: white marble, beige marble, gray marble, black marble, and brown and green marble.

White Marble: It's the most extracted marble in our country and, therefore, the most preferred type of marble. Plain white marbles have gray or darker veins. They are often preferred in bathrooms because their white color is very flashy in terms of cleanliness. However, it's also known as the lowest-cost marble because of its high reserves in our country.

Beige Marble: Marbles extracted in color tones known as cream or ivory are called beige marble. This type of marble, which has veins in darker colors, is often preferred for flooring.

Gray Marble: Another one of the natural marble blocks mined in our country is marbles in gray tones. Gray marbles, which have a wide color range from light gray to dark gray, are often preferred in interior decorations.

Black Marble: Black marble, the representative of elegance, gives a distinctive look to the place where they are used. Its dark-colored veins, which are different from itself, give this marble type a unique perspective.

Brown Marble: Marbles extracted in brown tones are frequently used in various parts of living spaces. In bathrooms, kitchens, or other living spaces, you can easily use marbles in this color, which indicates calmness and serenity.

Green Marble: Its white veins on green marble, which has a major place among marble varieties, create a different ambiance. It's a valuable and high-quality marble type because it's much less common than white marble.
