from the Greek word for shining stone. The beautiful luster of polished
marble is due to the light penetrating for a short distance into the
rock and then reflecting off of the surfaces of the deeper-lying
crystals. Architecturally, marble is a term applied to any metamorphosed
limestone or serpentine rock which is able to be polished. The
crystalline structure of marble gives it its beauty. The sparkle in the
marble is from the light glistening off of the facets of the rhombohedra
shaped crystal grains. Quarried in Italy, Breccia Aurora marble is
naturally elegant, and when part of the StonePly panel system becomes
