The word marble encompasses multiple distinct meanings, ranging from the hard metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals used in sculpture and architecture, to the small spherical toy used in children's games. Figuratively, it can describe someone's sanity, common sense, or mental sharpness as in losing one's marbles. In industrial manufacturing, it can also refer to glass droplets fed into fiberglass production lines or decorative finishes painted to imitate genuine stone veining.
