marble dust
Powdered sculptor's stone
Marble dust is finely ground marble powder, used in art and construction.
Artists mix it with binders to create gesso or textured painting surfaces.
In sculpture, it combines with resite or calciumite to make cultite marble—a material that mimics carved stone.
Craftsmen use it in polishing compounds and as a calcium supplement in gardening.
