	Building Marble Machine 2
		What inspired me to play with building a marble machine again was the idea for a marble elevating wheel, which would be very unlikely to jam.

		Marbles are dropped onto the left of this gadget, and roll towards the right, then stop against the lip of it, staying on the darker piece of wood.

		Pentelic marble was used by the great sculptors of ancient Greece, including Phidias and Praxiteles, and it was used to make the Elgin marbles.

		MARBLE [marble] metamorphic rock composed wholly or in large part of calcite or dolomite crystals, the crystalline texture being the result of metamorphism of limestone by heat and pressure.
		Marbles range in color from snow-white to gray and fl, many varieties being some shade of red, yellow, pink, green, or buff; the colors, which are caused by the presence of impurities, are frequently arranged in bands or patches and add to the beauty of the stone when it is cut and polished.
		Marble is used as a material in statuary and monuments, as a facing stone in buildings and residences, and for pillars, colonnades, paneling, wainscoting, and floor tiles.

	[::::: SUDBURY GRANITE & MARBLE - MARBLE :::::]
		Marble is a highly durable, stain resistant, scratch resistant natural stone material that is particularly suited for applications requiring a high degree of durability.
		Marble tile is typically installed using a layer of "thin set epoxy" to bond the stone to a wood or concrete backing or structure.
		A slip sheet is often used between the primary structure and the marble stone to allow for a degree of torsional relief desired due to dissimilar expansion and contraction properties between the stone and the supporting structure.

	Texturing Marble
		Marble is a little more tricky than the previous two techniques I've showed you and requires a little bit of practice to master, but the effect is well worth if, especially if you’re working with other-wise, plain large surfaces that need jazzing up (walls, floors, columns, altars, etc).
		Technique-wise, painting marble is similar to the technique for making granite from my last article; both require that you add texture to the stone using tools, though with marble it’ll be a sponge, and not a toothbrush, that I use.
		Marble usually has these threads of colored rock running trough it; to simulate this on miniatures, I’ll mix up the appropriate color of paint (in this case white), with the same amount of gloss medium as I used in the green paints.

	How do you recognize limestone and marble? [USGS] (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The main difference between limestone and marble is that limestone is a sedimentary rock, typically composed of calcium carbonate fossils, and marble is a metamorphic rock.
		Marble forms when sedimentary limestone is heated and squeezed by natural rock-forming processes so that the grains recrystallize.
		Marble is usually light colored and is composed of crystals of calcite locked together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

	Land of Marbles - Measuring Marbles
		Marbles measuring 23/32" to 25/32" are called shooters, although the largest size allowed as a shooter in the official tournaments is 3/4".
		Marbles measuring 1/2" or less are often called "peewees." Marbles measuring 3/8" or less are commonly called "micro-peewees." Peewee marbles break a rule that is common throughout marble collecting, no matter what type you collect, and that is "Bigger is Better." Peewees often bring a premium over their larger brethen, particularly the "normal" 5/8" size.
		Marble King peewees are fairly well documented, although a large portion of them seem to be coming from digs rather than general circulation.
