Marble

Marble（矿物名）

Marble is a metamorphic rock form composed of coarse crystals from parent limestone or dolostone rocks. Pure marble is white and composed of the mineral calcite. It has been very popular for sculpture and building construction because of its beauty and relative softness. It is vulnerable to weathering since its calcium carbonate content is readily attacked by acid rain.

大理石是一种由母岩石灰岩或白云岩中的粗粒结晶形成的变质岩。纯大理石呈白色，其主要矿物成分是方解石。由于其美观和相对柔软的特性，大理石非常受欢迎用于雕塑和建筑施工。然而，由于其碳酸钙含量容易被酸雨侵蚀，大理石容易风化。
