'''Marble''' is a non-foliated metamorphic rock resulting from the metamorphism of limestone, composed mostly of calcite (a crystalline form of calcium carbonate, CaCO<sub>3</sub>). Marble is known for its hardness, durability, and glossy properties. It is extensively used for sculpture, as a building material, and in many other applications. | |||
The [[ | [[Human]]s as of the 26th century occasionally use marble as a building material; for example, the [[Côte d'Azur Museum of Natural History]], built to resemble an ancient Greek temple, was constructed mainly of marble.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 184''</ref> | ||
The [[Covenant]] also use marble as a decorative material, such as the black marble used to make the [[San'Shyuum]] clerics' pestle and mortar.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 143''</ref> | |||
