marble (rock) (metamorphic rock, rock (inorganic material), ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A metamorphic, hard, dense, crystalline stone primarily composed of calcium carbonate; it is limestone or dolomite that has been metamorphosed with heat and pressure. Pure calcite marble is white, but impurities produce a wide variety of coloring and patterns. It is finely grained and polishes to a smooth, high gloss. It is used primarily for statuary and buildings. Marble has been quarried from sites around the world since at least the 7th century BCE. The term can also refer more broadly to any crystallized carbonate rock, including true marble and certain types of limestone, that will take a polish and can be used for architectural and ornamental purposes.

| Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een steensoort die bestaat uit calcium-magnesium-carbonaat - kalksteen of dolomiet - in een kristallijnige of korrelige staat. Kan worden gepolijst en wordt veel gebruikt in beeldhouwkunst en architectuur. |
| Portuguese ..... Pedra metamórfica, dura, densa e cristalina composta principalmente de carbonato de cálcio; é calcário ou dolomita que foi metamorfoseado com o calor e a pressão. O mármore de calcita puro é branco, mas as impurezas produzem uma grande variedade de cores e padrões. É finamente granulado e dá um polimento suave e de alto brilho. É usado principalmente para estátuas e edifícios. O mármore é extraído de locais em todo o mundo desde, pelo menos, o século 7 a.C. O termo também pode se referir mais amplamente a qualquer rocha carbonática cristalizada, incluindo o verdadeiro mármore e certos tipos de calcário, que precisam de um polimento e podem ser usados para fins arquitetônicos e ornamentais. |
| Spanish ..... Roca metamórfica compuesta principalmente de calcita y/o dolomita recristalizada, a menudo de colores irregulares por las impurezas. También puede referirse de modo más amplio a cualquier forma de carbonato cristalizado, incluyendo el mármol verdadero y algunos tipos de caliza, que pueden ser pulidas y utilizadas para propósitos arquitectónicos y ornamentales. |
