Marble quarrying is the process of extracting marble, a popular natural stone used in construction and sculpture. This involves removing large blocks of marble from the earth, typically from mountainous regions. Workers use specialized tools and machinery to cut and lift the stone, ensuring minimal damage to the surrounding environment. Once extracted, the marble blocks are transported to processing facilities where they are cut into slabs or tiles. These finished products are then used in various applications, including buildings, countertops, and artwork. The quality and color of the marble can vary significantly, making it a sought-after material in architecture and design.
