Marble is a geode mineral found in Frozen Geodes and Omni Geodes. Most geode minerals only matter for the museum, but Marble also has a crafting use: it is one of the ingredients of the Marble Brazier, a decorative light. That gives a reason to keep a spare piece after the first one goes to Gunther's mineral collection. Its sale price is low for a Frozen Geode mineral. Extra copies make a liked gift for the Wizard or a Toga Shirt at the Sewing Machine.
The in-game description reads: A very popular material for sculptures and construction.
Location
Frozen Geodes are the main way to get Marble, with roughly a one in thirty chance each. Omni Geodes can hold it too. Their odds are shared across every geode mineral, so each one is much less likely to give Marble.
Rocks on floors 41 to 79 of The Mines drop Frozen Geodes, as do rocks on the Farm in Winter. They can also come from Fishing Treasure Chests, or as a villager's gift at the Feast of the Winter Star. A full Ice Pip Fish Pond produces them. The small quarry on the Hill-top Farm and the Four Corners Farm has Frozen Geode Nodes that drop them. Frozen Geodes can also be bought for Calico Eggs from Sebastian, when he has a booth at the Desert Festival.
Clint at the Blacksmith cracks geodes for a small fee. The Geode Crusher does it without the fee once Clint's Cave Patrol special order has given its recipe. Daily luck leaves the contents unchanged.
Prices
Marble is one of the cheaper minerals in a Frozen Geode. Only Esperite sells for less, and Kyanite and Fairy Stone are worth more than twice as much. Marble still sells for a little more than the unopened Frozen Geode. With Gemologist, a Mining level 10 profession, Marble is worth thirty percent more.
A Crystalarium copies Marble in about three and a half days, which earns only around 32g a day. Copying Marble makes sense only to supply Marble Braziers. For money, a gem such as Jade earns several times more.
Uses
Robin sells the Marble Brazier recipe at the Carpenter's Shop. Crafting the brazier takes one Marble, one Aquamarine and a hundred Stone. The finished brazier gives off a moderate amount of light. Each brazier needs its own piece of Marble, so a decorated farm can use several.
Donating the first Marble to Gunther at the museum adds it to the mineral collection. Milestone rewards for minerals include furniture like the Standing Geode, the Singing Stone and the Obsidian Vase. The forty-first mineral brings the Crystal Chair, and the fiftieth a free Crystalarium.
Putting Marble and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes the Toga Shirt.

Gifts
The Wizard likes Marble.
The older villagers Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam all dislike Marble. The Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy dislike it as well, as do Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy. The marriage candidates Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane share that view, and so do Jas, Leo and Vincent.
Notes
Keep the first Marble for the museum and the next ones for braziers. Selling Marble earns little, while each brazier needs a piece that is otherwise slow to find.
