Description
Marble was highly prized in construction because of its strength, weight, and beauty. It came in many colors, including black, gray, pink, and white, and polished to a reflective smooth finish. This material was extremely heavy but was easy to quarry to exact specifications.[4][5][6] A typical price was 3 gp per pound (0.45 kg).[1][2][3]
Trivia
