Advice wanted For Marble Area

I want to Know that is there any relation  of silica content in massiveness of Marble Deposits ?
i have a large land in which there is a deposite found of dolomite with high silica % of 10-12 % and on the topsurface sand is there and benith the sand the deposite occur .
on the initial surface it is cherty and as we go  deep  it is not that much cherty, there are natural cracks showing in the upper surface cherty material. the area is plane land not any hills . its on ground plane land. and after polishing the material is taking ONYX like polish with some olive lining.
