- Marble Mining and Manufacturing From a $1 Billion Quarry | The Luxury Stone
Did you know that marbles are metamorphic rocks? This indicates that although they were formerly a different kind of rock, they have all undergone significant alteration from their igneous, sedimentary, or previous metamorphic forms. Marble has been in existence for a considerable amount of time. It has actually been a common building and home accent material for generations.

What a marbleous piece
🤣😂🤣
we shouldn't take this for granite.
This is a difficult process. Most people take it for granite. 😄
🤔🤔🎄🎄
Its a pain in the arse to sanstone by hand...
Take it for Granite👍 Paul cook👎😂🤣
lol
good one ! :)
Excellent video, it is fascinating how these giant marble blocks work. I am a stonemason and I also rebuild old stone walls. I wish you much success. I subscribe to your channel. Greetings from Barcelona.
I used to transport templates to a location and then deliver the finished countertop to the customer on an A-frame. The sight of the marble in the racks, awaiting transformation, was truly captivating. The process, though challenging, is often overlooked by most, but the intricacies involved are beyond belief. Crafting these countertops requires an incredible amount of skill and effort, turning raw materials into exquisite pieces that grace homes.
Do you believe that one day I will build you a house of stone?
😂❤🤣👏👌👍
@@Aleksandra-lf8ky Hello, my dear friend
My favorite part of the process (although the start is the most interesting) was that sexy elegant single slope sink design they put together
As a realist artist I've always loved it. It's precious stuff, and not hard at all, it's crystalline, and can be damaged quite easily.
Just beautiful to work with, unlike any other rock or stone.
To this day it's still expensive, and so it should be. ❤
NOBODY NEEDS THIS IN SUCH A HUUUUGE AMOUNT - LOVE AND ~ RESPECT ~ RESPECT ~ RESPECT ~ MOTHER EARTH
Its a fucking rock u donut
Yes. Best to leave it in the mountain where nobody can see it. Ever. Just another large hill.
My problem is people chopping it into tiny knicknacks that get thrown away, like souvenirs, etc. This should be reserved for big projects like the Taj Mahal, The Duomo, the David, etc. My parents had a Connemara Marble ashtray. no clue where it is now. Dont care. What a waste.
@@riverstun Yet when you look at the way those slabs could not come off perfectly even in the mine I was thinking "there is going to be a lot of wastage". Many small pieces quite useless for grandiose projects. What SHOULD you do with those?
This video was a lifesaver. Thank you for the clear instructions!
Wow that’s natural beauty and eons in the making 💜
water is cooling the cutting "blades/ wires" its not for crack prevention, #1 enemy of any cutting tool drill bit etc is heat
Yep. Cool the blade, minimize dangerous dust, and less stone chipping/cracking.
If i was building a giant stone pyramid, these are the techniques and machinery i would use...
Why would you buikd a pyramid?
Dunno, everybody else at the time were building them.
Outstanding ! Now I understand why it's so expensive, And worth every penny !!!
My favorite is when the thumbnail has no presence anywhere in the video.
Yes! So infuriating and time wasting!
Interesting quarrying! Marble is a metamorphic calcite with a Mohs hardness of 3 and will etch easily, removing the polished surface and is not suited for countertops in my opinion. Granite with a hardness of 7 is a much better material that is bulletproof compared to marble.
As a kitchen and bath remodeler since the 80's, I agree Marble is a HORRIBLE counter material..It soaks up stains...Granite is far better...I remember when we were pretty limited to color selections back in the day...Now, it's almost TOO HARD to select the "just right" color...The African, Indian, and South American color selections are so beautiful and exotic!
One of the biggest mosque searched worldwide for the whitest marble and found it in China, indeed it's beautiful. I believe it's the second big mosque with the largest carpet.
Exactly, but then again the Renaissance masters couldn't have chiseld David's scrotum that easily with a harder rock...
There is a marble called shadow storm , we are calling it $h!t storm because its such a pefect material for countertops . I would not put that thing not even in my basement to put old uselles things on it .
@@dodoslovensko yea. Rich people tastes can suck.

Absolutely marbleous.
Heb zoveel marmer gezien ,en wat er van gemaakt wordt.
Heb het zelf nageschildert.
Maar wat de natuur maakt is en blijft uniek.❤😊
¡Qué fascinante proceso de extracción y transformación del mármol! Me encanta cómo el video detalla cada etapa, desde la extracción en las canteras hasta la meticulosa fabricación de las encimeras. ¡Una lección completa sobre este lujoso material!
I work in marble bussines for 2 years now, from helper in construction site, to shop fabrication, and now delivering marble slabs for in my opionion best stone gallery in NYC. It is tough and dangerous job at any of that positions.
Cutting-edge technology in heavy machinery exceeds all expectations.
This is awesome..my favourite part is the cutting of the marble stones.....thanks for sharing.
My favorite part was how just as he's talking about all the precautions they take to move the countertop the video showed them NOT doing that.
I was surprised how thin that countertop was. It almost had to have rebar embedded in the back.
Great video! Very cool process to watch play out.
The end result was breathtaking. Makes me want to upgrade my kitchen.
Thank you
Farming documentaries provide valuable insights into the agricultural industry and its impact on the environment
بسیار جالب و آموزنده
So that’s how our bathroom started out. Cool👍
Look at the specialized equipment needed to get simple slabs.
And yet for years we were expected to believe ancient civilizations constructed huge structures, statuary, delicate vases with sticks, stones and guys pulling blocks.
Very informative, thank you.
So let me get this right they are taking huge chunks out of the earth, leaving huge holes so folks can have counter tops. Humans are so full of genious .
Concrete is cheaper than this marble , and nowadays on the top. Marble was good in middleages century.
I learned something new from this video.... marble slabs can have epoxy and fabric added to increase strength. This also allows better finish on exposed side as it becomes more dimensionally stable. Like putting a 'cast' on a broken bone.
Oh no, no, no... this uses MEGA epoxy (apparently). I've no idea what that is, but it was a surprise to me too. I'd have preferred a little science, but I'm guessing this isn't a channel for me.
Thanks, I too never heard of it. Learning is good.@@paultinwell5557
i think it was the backside of the slab they applied epoxy and most likely a nylon or polyester mesh.
but yeah 'mega epoxy' was weird one
Thanks for comment@@priorityone89
Nice work
Those slabs with sinkholes are the most scariest to carry.
great video but the photo in the thumbnail does not appear in this video

Awesome 😊 work ❤🤗🤗🤗❤️✌️🕊️💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺😎👍
Thank you
Very beautiful marble thank you.
I love marble. When we built our home it was one thing I insisted on. We have different colored .arble throughout our home. Black and grey in the main kitchen and black and white in the. Main bathrooms and master bedroom ensuite and the guest wing bathroom. In the TV room / living room we have a fireplace with a flat screen TV that is flush with the marble above the fireplace.
Before I retired I worked in a big house (17,500 sq. ft.) with 7 bathrooms. Different marble in each one. Beautiful home. A**hole owner.
None of those workers wearing airway protection :(
As beautiful as marble is, it will absorb stains. Unlike granite that isn’t porous. For counter tops in kitchens I always advise granite, marble for bathrooms.
Cheaper grades of granite are porous and permeable.
I love marble, but I'm always taking it for granite.
The open cut marble mine looked surreal.
Are the marble dust or fragments created by the cutting processes used for anything?
I have two favorite parts: Seeing it in its natural state being excavated... and seeing it in its finished state in the home.
The project I am on the marble alone was 33 million so these folks have it going on that’s for sure
❤❤
Amazing video
What mountain range is being destroyed while they chop apart these marble slabs? They come from Italy and all over the world. Just so we can have pretty countertops. And then 10 years later people throw the countertop out to get the next new modern version of countertop. Surely we are destroying some, very beautiful mountains somewhere.
Makes me wonder how marble was processes a thousand years ago, with no machinery.
presumably with a hammer, chisel and wedges to split the rock, and then hand sanded
@@cyclnvancouver8060 yeah, yeah, so you’re THAT GUY! No machinery, hardly any cutting through the marble, and sanding it by hand for weeks(months). Slave labor, for sure.
@@tinadiggingindirtweinstein5648 When I was at Machhu Piccu, the guide explained that that was how the rock on site was quarried and shaped for building purposes. Perhaps they used slaves or just craftsmen. From what we were told, it was actually fairly easy to split the rock with water soaked wedges and temperature changes.
I prefer using equipment of course, but you will notice that I was responding to someone who was asking how marble was cut 1000 years ago. I am pretty sure they did not have horizontal saws or forklifts or any other useful tools like we have.
The early dynastic Egyptian's were cutting marble before steel tools were even invented. Pretty crazy.
Large-scale agriculture heavily relies on powerful and specialized machines for tasks such as planting, fertilizing, and harvesting, ensuring the efficiency needed to meet global food demands.
makes you wonder how the "ancient world" did it with copper chisels and stone hammers

Sooner such elements would over, provided these natural resources are kept extracted.

Water for saws is also to keep the marble dust down so workers dont breath it in.
water acts as a lubricant and cooling the cutter heads
cutting mountains just for smoothening surroundings
Thank you great video.
Carrying clamps are nowhere in sight as the narrator says, “carrying clamps are used to ensure stability”
they ensure safe and efficient transportation: Loads marble block onto truck that drives off without any safety straps
Nice work and very entertaining.
In the beginning 0:15 there is an incredibly big, beautiful and luxurious bathroom, covered on marble. How would they fix the plumbing though, if something goes wrong? Do they detach the slabs on their entirety from the wall? Do they have to fix the pipes from the other side? Not always those same type of marble is available afterwards....
Just unbelievable amount of work that goes in there.
It's full of smart and ugly machines. But still gets the job done well
This countertop item is a marble of engineering.
good job!
I more interested with colorful marble...
Not with boring white one....
Whouah 👌 Thanks for this great video 🙏😎
very cool to watch
wow good Job Man
❤
great video ❤
Thanks to the earth.
Incredible!
Some off the coldest places I've ever worked
Getting so sick of these AI generated voice overs!
Its not AI
@@markredmond2014yes it is.
And then they can't even pronounce English properly, and I'm not even english😂
That's definitely not AI
@@buddimalliyanapathirana1767yes it is
my god this was wonderfull to watch🤩
❤Wow amazing
Majority of stiffs like us out there couldn't even afford renting an apartment these days, let alone hoping to owning a genuine marble kitchen tops in the video.
Work smarter,stop ubereating
Good INFO
We are only now able to do with stone, what the ancient pre Younger Dryas megalithic civilisations were doing, in the tropical band all around the Earth.
It’s crazy. I don’t think we could build pyramids right now using the building principals the ancient civilisations used. It’s mind boggling
The pyramids are broken down ruin. They were once covered by polished white marble and tipped with an enormous gold cap. @@LordGizmo
Look at all the devastation that theses mines did to the pristine forest and mountains 😓😣🤬
Amazing, they mentioned a 35 ton block, as if it was heavy. How were the blocks weighing 1200 tons moved in Baalbek?
Very nice video
Good job, good lucky
Leave the marble alone, marble has feelings 😢
They won't pick on Onyx , cause Onyx go hard " Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh. Let the boys be boys. Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh. Make noise b-boys"
Wonderful.....
Зачем они режут огромные блоки а потом их ломают на удачу ? Можно ведь резать меньше блоки которые могут поднять их погрузчики и не ломать их роняя.
Beautiful, kindly do one on Granite
Does Granite have a rap group? NO... But Onyx does " Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh. Let the boys be boys. Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh. Make noise b-boys"
In manufacturing, marble gang saws are employed to slice large marble blocks into thin slabs. These multi-blade saws use water or other cooling agents to prevent overheating during the cutting process.
Luar biasa...👍👍
Very nice video 👍🏻
8:12 is not enhancing any appearance or smoothness since that mesh is underneath! Look 3 minutes further in the video and you will see that you will never see the mesh once is installed! Is 100% helps with cracks and other things… i agree with that!
Marbellous
MY very own? Excellent - I'll pick it up some time next week please.
Very interesting video - best wishes.
How did they do this in the olden days without machinery?
...Diana draga mea🙏...!!! nu ești singură în parlament... DOMNUL IISUS ESTE cu tine ... pentru că eu m-am rugat🙏 pentru tine dragă Diana... și mă voi mai ruga... nu-ți fie tiamă nu ești singură... Domnul Iisus să te sprijinească.... FI TARE✊️👍.....!!!!!!!
To think they used various marble colors for dividers in restrooms100 or so years ago! I hated seeing places go down with these beautiful (esp. green) marble inside.
