Conversion of Lime stone to Marble happens because of intense pressure and heat. Marble is a metamorphic rock. When limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism. It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) and usually contains other minerals, such as clay minerals, micas, quartz, pyrite, iron oxides, and graphite. That is why limestone is changed into marble.
