Marble is believed to have calming and grounding properties, making it useful for reducing stress and promoting mental clarity. It's said to help enhance self-control, encourage serenity, and bring a sense of balance and stability to one's life. Marble is also thought to amplify one's physical and emotional strength, supporting resilience and aiding in decision-making during challenging times.

Yes, marble and onyx belong to the same family of calcium carbonate-based stones, but they have different formations and characteristics. Marble is a metamorphic rock formed when limestone is subjected to high heat and pressure, which causes it to recrystallize. Onyx, on the other hand, is a banded variety of calcite or chalcedony, formed through the deposition of calcium carbonate in cold water solutions like caves.

While they share similar chemical compositions, they differ in appearance and texture. Marble typically has a more uniform look with veining, while onyx is known for its striking bands of color and translucent quality. This translucence makes onyx particularly desirable for decorative pieces, as it can be illuminated from behind, unlike marble.
