With its high density but softness, natural marble is easy to cut, carve, grind and polish. After polished, the bright and clean, mirror-like surface and flowing texture of marble make it exceptionally suitable for decoration. And due to its low water absorption, high durability that can withstand 40-100 years of use, natural marble slabs and profile shapes are seen as frequently-used materials for home decoration and furniture making. When it comes to compressive strength, a reachable 300 MPa endurance (depending on rock stratum) makes marble only second to granite, a rock less varied in texture comparing to marble, and hard to be deformed.
