Geological Formation of Today’s 'Work-top in Pink' Material; Marble
It dates back to ancient times when the molten lava from volcanic eruptions made its way through the layers of lime stone, reaching in between its composition, all the way to reach the surface. As a result of outrageous heat, the calcium carbonate within the lime stone got molten and then recrystallised to form marble. Although pure calcium carbonate is white, the original lime stone contains many other minerals that give the newly formed marble its distinctive streaks and patterns. The pink and cream stone colours of pink marble are attained as a result of iron oxidation.
