Robin,

Dummy question here. Your prospective stone is 7800 lbs, is it about
round, and how big is that, about 5 ft diameter? How would you actually
get it home, hire a crew with crane and flatbed? When/if you get it
there, is there an efficient way of knowing which way is "up". It would
be a bummer to have to work the surface a while to see a preferred
direction of the colour or grain and then have to have the guys with
the machinery come back again to turn it a bit! Also, I wonder what its
like to come out of the house in the morning and look at this huge
investment and to overcome the psychological hurdle of starting into
it. I kinda envy you that. I'm a l-o-n-g way from experiencing it ...
may never.
