Dark marble is frequently used for worktops, flooring, and even as furniture accents. Although there are many different kinds of dark marble available, sedimentary rocks like black and brown limestones or dolomites make up the great bulk of them. These rocks are polished to a shiny surface to produce dark marble. The dark colour of this type of stone is mostly explained by its origin on geological platforms that have received a sizable volume of sediments with plenty of organic materials and carbonate under anaerobic environments. Black marble is one of the most frequently selected dark marble hues. Obviously, it is not the only type of marble used for those kinds of applications, but there is no denying that black marble always adds a touch of exclusivity and elegance to any setting.
