Marble
- Workability: softer than other stones when first quarried, making it easier to form the basic shape of a sculpture.Â
- Intricate detailing: fine grain allows for very detailed work.Â
- Durability: one of the most durable natural stones, making it resistant to breaking, cracking, and fading.Â
- Smooth surface: can be polished to create a smooth, glossy surface that allows light to pass through.Â
- Translucent surface: that artists have favored for millennia.Â
- Ease of carvingÂ
- Protective coating:Â White marble has a natural protective coating that helps preserve its luster over time.Â
Marble has been used extensively in art and architecture since ancient times, particularly by the Greeks and Romans and is still a popular material for sculptures today
