The term "Marble" is derived from the Latin word "Marmar" which itself comes from the Greek root "Marmarous" meaning there by a shining stone. Marble is a metamorphic rock resulting from the recrystallization of limestone softened from heat and pressure. Main constituents are calcium and dolomite.
Crema Marfil is a calcareous stone extracted in the mining areas of West Alicante province and North of Murcia province (Spain). The material has a creamy background tone of colour, that can vary form light tone (scarce) to medium tone. Crema Marfil presents calcium veins of soft brown or orangish colour.
The classification (and also its capacity of being supplied and its price) depends on the homogeneity of the tone of colour, the amount of veins and the presence of mineral intrussions.
