The name "marble" comes from the Greek word μάρμαρος (mármaros), meaning "shining stone."
Marble is viewed as a stone of potential. Like a block of stone awaits a master carver's touch, so practitioners believe spirit awaits the awakening powers of marble. It is said to promote peak states of meditation and support the perfect recall of dreams. Marble is also associated with self-control, serenity and the growth of an individual's common sense.

Marble is a metamorphic rock, made of re-crystallized minerals (primarily calcite and dolomite). This makes marble a member of the carbonate family, cousin to limestone and magnesite.
