THE BEST MARBLE AND GRANITE SUPPLIERS IN MELBOURNE

Marbles are considered a softer stone than their natural stone counterparts, granites and quartzites. This means more vulnerability to etching, staining and abrasion. It can dull and etch when exposed to acids, especially commonly used acids like lemon juice, wine and coffee.
