| | Marble HISTORY! |
 | | There are frequent references to marbles in Roman literature and it is probably fair to assume that the Romans took this popular form of entertainment with them to all parts of their empire. | | | These days, marbles are made from all sorts of materials, but glass remains by far the most popular. | | | However, it was only when a German glassblower invented a tool called the marble scissors in 1846 that production became quick enough to make the sale of glass marbles to the public an economic proposition. |

| | Marble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Marble is a metamorphic rock resulting from regional or at times contact metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, either limestone or dolostone. | | | The temperatures and pressures necessary to form marble usually destroy any fossils and sedimentary textures present in the original rock. | | | Colorless marbles are a very pure source of calcium carbonate, which is used in a wide variety of industries. |
