Expensive Marble Stone
We have the most Expensive Marble Stone which is Yule Marble it is a premium white marble.
Yule Marble is found in the West Elk Mountains of Colorado discovered in 1873.
Yes that’s correct not only Italy, Greece and Turkey here in the United States we have some of the best marble in the world!
Yule is 99.5% pure calcite giving it a very smooth texture and luminous surface therefore it is beautiful for counter tops, buildings, art, and projects.
Yule’s size of the deposits allows for large blocks to be quarried, it is a weather resistant marble of metamorphosed limestone.
Henry Bacon urged the Yule Marble be used for the Lincoln Memorial because of aesthetic value in spite of the cost.
Quarrying is a challenge due to high altitude (9,300 feet above sea level), steep slopes, deep snow, and snow-mud slides in the winter.
Even advances in technology have not helped to eliminate these challenges.
This location has 5 quarries and only one is in operation today.
There has been highs and lows with the use of this marble due to the challenges to access.
Yule Marble is found in the Yule Creek Valley in Marble, Colorado.
It is shipped to other parts of the world: Italy, Saudi Arabia, Peru, and other international locations.
The quality of Yule Marble made it the choice for use in the basement of the Colorado Capitol, Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Other buildings throughout the country were also built with Yule Marble.
