Since ancient times, marble has been valued for its beauty, strength and resistance to the elements. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Persians used marble in their buildings and statues. The first to use marble tiles, the Ancient Romans redid Rome in marble to create the world's most beautiful city. Masterful artists such as Michelangelo preferred the noble beauty of marble for their sculptures, as well. Marble is formed from limestone exposed to thousands of years of heat and pressure in the earth's crust.
