Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of Limestone but mostly composed
of Calcite. It is used extensively for sculpture, building materials
and has many decorative uses. The pure white Marble is probably the
most common form known, but the characteristic swirls and veins of many colored
Marble varieties are usually due to various mineral impurities such as Clay,
Silt, Sand, Iron Oxides or Chert.

Quartz
is the second most common mineral in the Earth's continental crust.
It is mainly composed of Silica or Silica based minerals. Although Quartz
is known by a variety of names, the most important distinction between types
of Quartz is that of macro-crystalline, individual crystals visible to the
unaided eye, and micro-crystalline, where aggregates of crystals are only
visible under high magnification. There are many forms of Quartz including
Chalcedony, Amethyst, Citrine, and Carnelian which are results of mineral
impurities or heat treatments.

Copper is a reddish colored metal with a high electrical and thermal
conductivity. It has its characteristic color because it reflects red
and orange light and absorbs other frequencies in the visible spectrum due
to its band structure. It is in the same family as Silver and Gold and
is a malleable metal. It is beautiful natural or polished.

A Meteorite is a natural object originating in outer space that survives
an impact with the Earth's surface without being destroyed. There are
3 types of meteorites: stony, which are mainly composed of Silicate minerals;
Iron, which are largely composed of metallic Iron-Nickel; and stony-Iron,
which are composed of both types of media.
