Is that because normal marble would like fracture and split into pieces?
Real marble is soft. That's why they make sculptures out of it. It's easy to carve. You can cut it with a butter knife if you really want to.
My life is a lie. Why didn't I learn this is school!
It's made out of smooshed up old seashells.
How does everyone know this but me? If it wasn't the education system of a lower socioeconomic neighborhood in the imperial core then it must be due to slacking off a ton 🥲
I knew about marble being soft and useless from dwarf fortress
You end up with a lot of rock and ore facts from playing that game lmao
Dwarf Fortress is basically Geology 101: The Game.
I think marble is actually pretty soft for stone. It’s a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale.
You have corrected a long standing misunderstanding, thank you comrade o7
