Carrara Marble

The formation of Marble stone Marble is a naturally metamorphic stone; It used to be a different rock, and then it was changed by a change of situation or in other words the situation here was geology. Before becoming a beautiful Marble pattern as today, it was limestone, formed on the coast and floor of the tropical sea. Depending on the conditions at a specific beach or sea floor, the shelly sediments of limestone can be strongly compressed with regular clay or sand layers. Tropical beaches create limestone that does not keep peace indefinitely. The ocean is basically a geological conveyor. The ocean floor slowly spread out from the center and slipped beneath the continents on the edges, gradually rearranging the world map.

When a limestone seabed is pulled down into the earth's crust, additional heat will transform calcite particles and tightly combine them. The movements of the rock layers as they become buried, twisted, and pushed around cause the original horizontal flat layers to bend, lock and swirl together. A rock in this hot state does not melt. It is simply warm and flexible. Swirls of color in marble are simply layers of clay and minerals in it folded. Carrara Marble is a high quality white or blue-gray stone, popular for use in sculpture and interior design construction. It was mined in the city of Carrara in the province of Massa and Carrara in Lunigiana, the northernmost tip of present-day Tuscany, Italy.

Carrara marble lines have been used since ancient Roman times. In the 17th and 18th centuries, marble quarries were overseen by Malaspina families that ruled Massa and Carrara. This family created the "Marble Office" in 1564 to regulate the Marble quarry industry. The city of Massa, has seen many of its plans redesigned (new roads, squares, intersections, digging) to make it worthy of the Italian capital. After the departure of the Malaspina family, the state was ruled by the Austrian state and they managed the mines. Massa Church was built entirely of Carrara marble and Massa's old Ducal palace was the same as it used to display the gem. At the end of the 19th century, Carrara became the cradle of anarchism in Italy, especially among quarry workers. According to an article in the New York Times in 1894, workers in Marble quarries are among the most abandoned workers in Italy.
