Marble

 

Marble is a metamorphic rock, created when limestone is exposed to extreme heat and pressure during a process called metamorphism. Pure marble is features a bright white color, yet marble can also feature a unique array of tints, including blue, pink, gray and or black. This is attributed to its composition of the mineral calcite as well as minerals such as clay, iron oxides, graphite, etc.

Despite its beauty, marble is one of the less durable options for your countertops. The material is very porous, and is prone to staining and bacteria accumulation. It is also prone to scratching and sensitive to acidic substances, which means that most of the common cleaning materials should be avoided. Fortunately, your ideal solution is to clean your countertop with mild soap and warm water, remove any spills immediately, and use a cutting board at all times.
