THE HISTORY OF MARBLE
From its origins, to extraction and processing, the Sardinian marble obtains an extraordinary feature that distinguishes each single product. The marble comes from a carbon formation with origins dating back to the Jurassic and Cretaceous period. From a geological point of view, the rock belongs to the family of sedimentary rocks classified by shells, seashells, minerals and algae crystallized in the stone, giving live to countless shades and types of marble.
