Ntawm no, txawm hais tias nws yog lub roob siab lossis toj roob hauv pes, muaj txhua yam ntawm marbles, thiab qhov ntau thiab ntau yam ntawm kev khaws cia yog nyob rau hauv pem hauv ntej ntawm lub ntiaj teb no.
Kev lag luam Greek marble pib hauv 1930s thiab tau loj hlob sai hauv peb lub xyoos dhau los. Xyoo 1896, txhawm rau tuav thawj qhov kev ua si Olympic niaj hnub no, Tim Nkij teb chaws tau tsim kho lub chaw ntau pob hauv ntiaj teb tsim los ntawm marble, Panathenaic Stadium hauv Athens.

Qhov tseeb, thaum ntxov li 3000 xyoo dhau los, cov Greeks pib siv marble ua cov khoom siv hauv tsev thiab mus txog qib siab ntawm kev siv.

Yog vim li cas tim Nkij teb chaws thiaj nplua nuj nyob rau hauv marble yog vim marble yog ib tug metamorphic pob zeb tsim los ntawm metamorphism ntawm limestone nyob rau hauv lub kub kub thiab siab kub. Tim Nkij teb chaws muaj keeb kwm ntev geological nrog tob thiab dav limestone formations tso. Raws li Eurasian phaj thiab African phaj txuas ntxiv sib tsoo thiab nyem, qhov av maj mam nce. Nyob rau tib lub sijhawm, vim qhov tawg ntawm pob zeb formations thiab intrusion ntawm magma, ib tug loj npaum li cas ntawm marble yog tsim nyob rau hauv kub thiab siab.
