text:
Tākaka marble is a marble found in the area around Tākaka in the northern South Island of New Zealand. It comes from number of quarries on Tākaka Hill and the Holyoake Valley nearby, which form part of the Tākaka Terrane. Impurities differ from place to place. Each of the quarries producing "Tākaka marble" thus gives a differently coloured marble, ranging from white to pink or grey, and sometimes almost black. Kairuru marble is a coarse-grained marble which polishes to a lustrous finish. Quarryi
