[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all.  I will look into these.  I may have to revisit marble yards as well.  Anyone know where I can see slabs of Vermont Imperial Dabney marble in person in the DC area?[/quote]

I think it’s really tempting to be able to look online and focus on the brand names or quarries of different stones, but it’s more practical to just show up at a stone yard and look at the slabs in front of you. [/quote]

+1. The stone yards turn over their inventory constantly, so you have to visit them frequently and see what comes in. Post a photo of the type of marble you like. There are a myriad of quartz options, but there are also quartzite options that do look like marble.

If you are looking for taupe tones, Taj Mahal is very durable and comes in many tones, so you have to be patient and look for what you like. Whiter quartzites that look like marble include blanco superiore, mont blanc, azurra bay, etc etc.

Quartz can also deviate from the sample, so it’s important to look at the whole slab and choose specific slabs. Choosing stone is more like choosing a puppy that choosing a paint color. You have to like the specific slab. [/quote]
