Marble harvesting

ajc71
9 years ago

Cool video that got sent to me today and thought I would share....

Had a client (my mother!) complaining about the lack of veining in all the calacatta that my normal source had in stock when we went looking at slabs for her bathroom project....

The owner of the company sent me this video to show how they harvest the slabs and remind me that it is a natural product

The point was well made

Here is a link that might be useful: reality check
