Q. How can you tell if a dining table is real marble?

Answer

The authenticity of marble may be determined by examining for signs of wear and tear. If you scrape the stone with a knife and don't observe any damage, it's probably not natural marble or granite but rather a fake. Before buying, turn the stone over and inspect it for cracks and fractures. Along with the marble's veins, tiny fissures might appear at random. Minor fractures in slabs are acceptable in low-traffic areas. If the marble has deep fissures, it is not of high quality. To create the impression of a polished marble surface, faux marble uses a painting method to mimic the look of real marble.
