Material Surface Finish Template - (Marble)

Description:

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized
carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite

or dolomite. Marble is typically not foliated (layered),
although there are exceptions.

Rationale:

I chose marble because I think it is a very interesting/ beautiful material.

It has quite a complex finish, as there is a depth to
the material (because it is layered), and it has nice reflective elements.

Natural Marble is used principally for buildings and monuments, Natural

interior decoration, statuary, table tops, and novelties.
