Is that because normal marble would like fracture and split into pieces?

Real marble is soft. That's why they make sculptures out of it. It's easy to carve. You can cut it with a butter knife if you really want to.

I knew about marble being soft and useless from dwarf fortress

I think marble is actually pretty soft for stone. It’s a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale.
