To solve a problem that in a conventional artificial marble molded article, a number of fine recessions are formed all over the surface and accordingly, sufficient surface gloss of the article can not be obtained.

This artificial marble 1 comprises: a composite material 3 consisting of a resin component composed of a thermosetting resin and an inorganic filler component; and a fibrous additive 2 which is mixed and dispersed into the composite material 3; wherein by using, as the fibrous additive 2, a material consisting of a thermoplastic resin and an inorganic filler mixed into a thermoplastic resin, the thermal expansion coefficient of the fibrous additive 2 is adjusted so as to be almost equal to that of the composite material 3.
