James and Lily Potter's headstone

Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material.[1]

Gringotts Wizarding Bank's main hall in London was made of marble[2] as well as stairs leading to bank's interior,[3] though passageways to vaults were carved out of stone.[2]

"The stone walls were lit with flaming torches like the ones at Gringotts, the ceiling was too high to make out, and a magnificent marble staircase facing them led to the upper floors."
— Description of Marble Staircase[src]

In Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, inside the entrance hall, a staircase made of marble could be seen leading to upper floors.[4][5][6][7][8] Neville Longbottom's Rememberall was possibly made of marble.[9][10] There was a bathroom for Prefects on fifth floor next to the statue of Boris the Bewildered, whose entire inside was made of marble.[11] The large, circular room of the Department of Mysteries also had a shining, marble floor so that it looked as though there was dark water underfoot.[12] The cabinet of Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street, had a marble fireplace and mantelpiece facing the long sash windows.[13] At the place where Albus Dumbledore was buried, outside the Hogwarts Castle, there was a large marble table on which corpse of former director of Hogwarts was put, standing at the front of the chairs. Dumbledore, was buried in white marble tomb.[14][15] There was also a marble mantelpiece at Malfoy Manor in the hall, where Death Eaters gathered in 1997 with their leader, Lord Voldemort.[16][17] There was a marble floor in bathroom at 12 Grimmauld Place as well, where Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger hid in 1997.[18] James and Lily Potter's tomb in Godric's Hollow was made of white marble, and had their names and dates of birth and death engraved upon it.[19] Ravenclaw Common Room had a marble, tall statue of Rowena Ravenclaw inside.[20]
