===== Magical Uses =====
Marble is a carbonate of lime. Coral, calcite, limestone, stalagmites, chalk, seashells, and bones are all lime, though they have varying magical uses.

Specifically, marble is used in protective spells. An altar made of marble, in whole or part, is an ideal center of protective spells. (Some magicians use a slab of marble for the top of their altars.) Marble tables and fixtures are protective for the home. Marble can be carried or worn for personal protection, as it was in India.

Marble is also utilized in spells involving personal success in a general sense.</ifauth>
