Marble's Look
Marble has a smooth, elegant appearance with veining that can be fine and feathery or bold and dramatic. Its slight translucence gives it a soft glow, especially in white varieties.
Granite's Look
Granite has visible crystals and speckles, often with sparkle from mica and feldspar. Some granites have flowing waves or veins similar to marble.
