Types of Marble--Need to add section
Need to find source for following info, published at What Are the Main Types of Marble? The most popular types of marble stone employed in sculpture are Pentelic, Parian and Carrara marble. During Classical Antiquity, the most famous type was the close-grained, golden-toned Pentelic variety, quarried at Mount Pentelicon in Attica. The famous sculptures obtained by the Earl of Elgin from the Parthenon in Athens, in 1801-3, known as the Elgin Marbles, were carved in Pentelic. Another popular variety was Parian marble, a coarser-grained but translucent white stone obtained from the Aegean islands of Naxos and Paros. This type was used to create the renowned Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. A third type, used for the masterpiece Apollo Belvedere (c.330 BCE), was the pure white Carrara marble, found at Carrara and Pietra Santa in Tuscany. It was the favourite of the Florentine genius Michelangelo.Jdkag (talk) 09:39, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Amount of Time Needed to Make a Marble Sculpture
Most people are curious about the amount of time needed to create a marble sculpture and have little or no idea how many days, months or years it takes to create one. Could a section be added about this information with examples of famous sculpture works? --Roland 03:58, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
