Agra Marble
Returning from our visit to the Taj Mahal, we were guided to a marble factory by our guide, under the auspices of using the restroom. What a surprise, a guide who led us to a friend's or relative's shop! However, not to worry, as he assured us that this is the "best marble factory in Agra"--lucky us! At any rate, it was interesting watching how the designs we had just admired at the Taj Mahal were produced and continue to be manufactured for consumption around the world. The distinguishing characteristic between the marble used here and at the Taj Mahal (as opposed to most marble) is the non-porous nature of Agra marble. It will not absorb any sort of liquid or particle matter. If the Taj Mahal had been constructed from porousmarble, given the pollution in Agra, that storied black Taj Mahal would certainly be a reality by now! The other interesting feature of the Agra marble was its translucence; even a thick piece of marble such as a table-top allows light to easily pass through it.
