Ken,
I used it as panels set in a terra cotta exterior per specification. I got
it in Rutland, 1992. We used to get chunks of it out of the fields when I
was a kid. The epoxy we used to fix the hangers bled through and the
polished finish went whitish gray. By the way, a family we are friends with
are in the stone business, they recently built a house, stone and tile,
everywhere, no sheet rock anywhere except the garages, and.they had enough
Costa Esmerelda (Iran, green) left over, and gave it to me. I redid the
kitchen as a result. So, no more formica. The pass through from eating
area to living room now has a birds eye maple countertop with tiger maple
edging. Still have the same hickory cabinets. We have two Red Shouldered
Hawks and one Redwing Hawk and one Sharpshinned Hawk in residence. The
larger of the two Red Shoulders flew off with the remains of the turkey
carcus the other day. When are you coming over?
Best,
Leland

conservation of Verde Antique marble in
exterior applications?
Quaried in Rutland near the Rochester quarries ; used at rockerfeller center
interior applications only ; don't recomend it for outdoors in the North
east
look for samples in the grave yard ; it won't hold a polish unless sealed ;
which alters the color .......did one outdoor application and it weathered
back in one year good luck PY
