Answer 3

Marble:
What Type of Rock Is It? Metamorphic
What Does It Look Like? Often pure white. It may be streaked or patchy gray, green, tan, or red. Marble is fine grained to very coarse grained and crystals are usually easy to see. The rock is soft; it will not scratch glass (quartzite may look like a fine grained marble, but easily scratches glass). The powdered marble will often fizz with white vinegar. If it does not fizz, it may be dolomitic marble.

What Minerals Make Up the Rock? calcite, or dolomite (dolomitic marble); Sometimes: graphite, pyrite, mica, tremolite, and a few others

How Was It Formed? Marble forms from the metamorphism of limestones.

Dolomite is a sedimentary - mineral rock. Dolomite is another kind of limestone.Dolomite is white or a very light colour [yellow or grey] and looks like white rice. It has a hardness of 4 (h =4), so it is not very hard and breaks up easily.It is made from broken up shells and fish bones, mud and pebbles. It is made under the sea.

Answer 4

If I recall.... marble is a metamorphic result of calcium carbonate (like Tums).

Answer 5

Marble is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock resulting from the metamorphism of limestone

Dolomite is the name of a sedimentary carbonate rock
