Description
The word “marble” is derived from the Latin word “marmar,” which is derived from the Greek root “marmarous,” which means “a shining stone.”
Since ancient times, marble has been used in churches, mosques, palaces, and homes. Marble is the most common ornamental and decorative stone because of its attractive colors, patterns, and designs. It is also a strong and durable stone, which led the ancient Iranians and Greeks to use these stones in the building of temples and statues.
