Bought an offcut of 'white' marble with blue veins running through it -
the sort you see in Victorian houses on fireplaces and wash stands, etc.
It's about 1800 x 300 x 30mm. Polished on one face, some chips on edges
and corners. How much should I have paid? They started out at silly money
then came down rapidly as I walked away.

What I actually need is two sections 60 x 30 x 965mm to replace broken
and/or missing bits in a fireplace. Hope I can cut it ok with my wet tile
cutter, help, and lots of care.

At the top of these pillars there should be a sort of plinth with curved
edges on two sides (separate part). I've never attempted to carve stone
before - any tips?
