The Great Source of Portuguese Marble

The stone extraction in Portugal is dating back to the Roman Empire and played an important role in the architecture of that time to being part of the construction of palaces, religious monuments, statues, fountains and other buildings that we can found nowadays in lots of places in Iberic Peninsula and all over the world. The great source of Portuguese marble is a world-famous geological area called the Estremoz Anticline, located in the Alentejo region.

Pure white marble is the result of a very pure metamorphism.

Marble is a metamorphic rock formed when limestone dolomite rock is exposed to high temperatures and pressures. Marble forms under such conditions because the calcite forming the limestone recrystallises forming a denser rock consisting of roughly equigranular calcite crystals. The variety of colours exhibited by marble are a consequence of minor amounts of impurities being incorporated with the calcite during metamorphism. Pure white marble is the result of a very pure metamorphism.
