Marble, limestone and travertine all consist of calcium carbonate in one of its many forms. These stones are made from the composition of many layers of fossilized shells, bones, coral and other miscellaneous additions from mother nature. They vary in density, porosity, and colour. Marble, limestone and travertine have a hardness similar to our teeth and bones and registers 3-4 on the Mohs scale of natural hardness.
