Editing Marble (section)

=== Features ===
Marble is a rock composed of [[calcium]] and [[magnesium carbonate]], mostly white and pink.<ref name="www.britannica.com"/> Common marble varieties are granular limestone or [[Dolomite (rock)|dolomite]]. The [[hardness]] of marble is very high, because the internal structure of the rock is very uniform after long-term natural aging, and the [[Stress (mechanics)|internal stress]] disappears, so the marble will not be deformed due to temperature, and has strong wear resistance. It is a popular building material.
