Walter S. Arnold, Sculptor/Stone Carver: Classically trained in Italy. Custom hand-carved stone sculpture. Made in the USA and Italy.

There are over 3000 varieties of natural stone available in the U.S. Market.

This collection illustrates representative examples of the major families of marble. The groups indicate the color and characteristics of each family. Select an individual family to view thumbnail previews of those marbles. Individual marbles can be viewed by clicking on the thumbnails. You can also view the marbles using the alphabetized list. 

This page is offered as a reference and resource presenting the wide variety of beautiful marble available. I don't stock or sell this marble, but I use it to create individual hand carved sculpture.

Note that almost all Green Marble is actually Serpentine, not Marble. From a usage and commercial standpoint, this distinction doesn't matter, but it may put these stones in a different, and higher, import duty classification in the United States. The customs departments of most other countries do not make this distinction. In a similar vein, Black Granite is generally Basalt, and is charged a higher import duty.
