white<\/a>\u00a0to rich\u00a0<a href=\"\/products\/slab\/marble\/negro-marquina\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">black<\/a>\u00a0and many hues and undertones in between, including cream, tan, brown, gold, reds, blues and green. The layers of sediment are what lead to the gorgeous range of veining and patterns in the resulting marble, from delicate swirls to sweeping, dramatic or bold veins that give the stone its distinctive style and personality. The beauty of marble, as with any natural stone, is that each individual slab is one-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"BFOH2-lower\">How is marble mined?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"BFOParagraph\">Most of the world\u2019s marble is mined in Italy, China, India and Spain, but it is also found in other places around the world. Italy is the producer of some of the most popular and classic types of marble, including Carrara marble and Calacatta marble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"BFOParagraph\">Marble is mined carefully from huge quarries. Machines are used to cut grooves into the stone, from which massive blocks of marble are split from the rock face.\u00a0 A single marble block can weigh around 20,000 pounds. After extraction, special diamond-tipped blades are used to process the stone into manageable slabs about 7-9 feet long. When necessary, a resin is applied to any cracks or pits in the surface of the stone, and it is then polished to highlight the marble\u2019s beauty.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"BFOH2-lower\">Where can marble be used in the home?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"BFOParagraph\">Marble continues to be one of the most popular choices for classic, luxurious countertops in kitchens and bathrooms. Marble tiles can also be installed to create beautiful floors, shower walls and more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1280\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1280\" style=\"width: 508px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arizonatile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/calacatta-colorado-marble-bathroom-walls.jpg\" alt=\"Calacatta Colorado Marble Bathroom Walls from Arizona Tile\" width=\"508\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arizonatile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/calacatta-colorado-marble-bathroom-walls.jpg 508w, https:\/\/www.arizonatile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/calacatta-colorado-marble-bathroom-walls-300x229.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1280\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: Calacatta Colorado Marble Bathroom Walls from Arizona Tile<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"BFOParagraph\">As a natural stone, it is quite hard and durable, but softer than granite or quartzite.
