Marble is a metamorphic rock formed when limestone undergoes intense heat and pressure and is found primarily across Europe and India. Although marble is usually  white, marble can form in a range of colors, depending on its mineral combination, like black, green, pink and gray. With marble, its color and true beauty will intensify over time and with use. Because it is softer than granite, marble has the tendency to stain and scratch more easily, therefore it is recommended to always have your marble sealed. Marble is a very versatile stone and is used for countertop surfaces, fireplaces, bar-tops, backsplashes and bathroom designs.  Royal Stone & Tile in Los Angeles has both our large showroom and slab yard conveniently located next to one another on Sepulveda Blvd between Pico and Olympic on the west side of the street.  Royal Stone & Tile  serves all of  Canoga Park, Beverly Hills, Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Northridge, West Hills, Brentwood, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica and West Hollywood.
