Jones has one of the most unique marbles on campus. This is a closeup of the pink marble inside the Jones lobby. As you can see this marble is not all pink. The dark greenish-black swirls are metamorphosed biotite grains. The white is probably quartz crystals. This is a beautiful stone, but since it is so polished it was difficult to take a good photograph without the reflection of the flash; this is a stone you should see in person because every part has a different pattern.   Back to top Academic Quad-East Academic Quad-West Baker Institute, Herring Hall, Shepherd and RMC Cohen House and Allen Center Engineering Quad Hamman Hall, Herman Brown, and Mudd Residential Colleges Science Buildings Main Page Department of Geology and Geophysics, Rice University, Houston.
