("In China, marble is called Dali stone")

My comment:
(a) Dali City
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dali_City
("Dali is also famous for the many types of marble it produces, which are used primarily in construction and for decorative objects. In fact, Dali is so famous for the stone that the name of marble in Chinese is literally 'Dali Stone' (Chinese: 大理石)")
(b) Up to today, I never wondered about etymology of 大理石 (in use in Taiwan also); I just took it for granted. Now I know.
