Inexhaustible deposits of marble are found in Eastern Tennessee in an area about l00 m. long by 20 m. wide, the centre of which is Knox county, the deposits extending southward into Georgia.

These marbles are of a distinctive character, being usually mottled in bright shades of red, pink, chocolate and grey. They are employed principally for interior decoration, and were thus largely used in the capitol at Nashville and in the National Capitol at Washington. Systematic quarrying of these marbles was begun as early as 1838, and the output of the quarries has constantly increased since the Civil War.
