Marble is a natural limestone that is formed over many years through pressure in the ground. The beautiful vein-like patterns that marble tile is known for is due to the type of minerals and the amounts present during formation; different patterns and colors form because of the different minerals. These variations give marble a very distinct quality and look. When marble floor tile is processed it is cut into the individual tiles and because of the way the stone is formed there are variations from tile to tile in pattern and slightly shade. After the stone it cut and polished it is checked for any small fissures in the stone that could affect its structural integrity. These fissures are then filled which helps to ensure the strength of the stone.
