These stone are fabulous. So smooth and although I haven't installed them yet they are soft to the touch and a perfectly elegant size. I can't wait to seal them to see what colors emerge. They will be very serene feeling with my Carrera Marble Bathroom. Everything will be monochromatic, giving it a soothing feeling, which I like. If you are into buying and selling homes, you'll find that buyers like these looks now too. I will send a picture when it is finished!
