How will I know if the marble is cultured or natural?
Primarily, you have to determine whether your marble is cultured or natural as each type has a different method of Marble Polishing. There are several ways of finding out what marble you have. In the temperature method, all you have to do is lay your palm on the surface of the marble.

On the other hand, if it feels the same as the surrounding temperature, then, you have a cultured marble. Other methods you may use are the acid method and scratch method.
