Ya think that's marble Mel ? Most appealing yellow. Isn't marble is heavy ? Marble is good with me 😂 it is heavy! Georgia is probably #1 producer of marble. Not necessarily exotic colors like your sample. I have picked up plenty of marble and know how heavy that rock is. This white boy found a big pile of 16" X 16" X 4" solid white marble blocks in a ditch in 'let's get mugged' area of downtown Atlanta. Carried them to my crib. Used them for copping, brick layers ready to shoot me. HEAVY

That is beautiful!!

Probably, it is a metamorphic area, but to find it you usually have to look for it. I haven't. Too busy looking for Picasso.

I give you permission to live in my back yard. I'm the one that owns Florida. if you want to debate that fact I will have thousands of 12 foot gators infest your yard. You think I oughta take ole Melhill out on a coral expedition ? That girl can't be wearin that polka dotted bikini if she goes w/me. I gotta focus when coral huntin. I'll smash every finger I got w/the hammer. I got a 2 neighbor gals lookin like Mel I used to take coral hunting. Messed up train of thought. No focus whatsoever. This is one of them, Mona the abuser
