1. Marble

Marble has a wide variety of colors and varieties, and is a rare natural building material. However, marble is generally only used for interior decoration surfaces of buildings, such as interior walls, floors, etc.;

Only a few marbles, such as white marble, mugwort and other stable and durable varieties with pure quality and few impurities, can be used outdoors. This is determined by the physical properties of marble.
