These marbled masterpieces are nothing like that old game of skill you played as a child and more like a fashionable substance to be used in a multitude modes. Remember the days when the only marble you were acutely aware of was that found on your childhood playgrounds in games that involved keenly shooting those round little rocks?
The veiny, swirling design of marble is now being used to enhance everything from furniture and fashion to housing structures and heavy headgear.
It seems like just about everything has been tapped with the marble version of a Midas touch and the rocky resource has proven it's here to stay. If any sedimentary substance can stay strong under years of style changes it's this metamorphic material.
