Metamorphic rocks

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many types:

Marble

Timeless and highly durable, marble is an excellent choice if you desire an ambience of both luxury and antiquity.

Granite

Granite is a hard-edged stone with a beautiful natural grain.

Slate

Slate is a handsome porous stone. It is easy to cut and to make into sheets. Mostly available in gold, grey and black, slate works well in both dry and wet areas of the house.

Sandstone

This is a widely prevalent stone in India with large variations in colour and grain. Highly durable and warm, it lends the room a distinctive natural look with its rocky characteristics.

Limestone

This sedimentary stone can be found in a variety of colours, from creams to charcoal. These stones make good company for all kinds of decor styles – from traditional to contemporary.

Travertine

Travertine is a cousin of limestone that is lighter on the pocket.

TIPS:-

Marble: is heavy and the larger sheets tend to be rather fragile. Always hire skilled labour for any kind of installation.

Slate: Apply penetrating sealants every two years to make the slate impermeable.
