Subject: Cutting thin slabs of stone

I'd like to cut some 1"-2" thick slabs of alabastor (18"x24"x1"-2").
Drilling and separating cause me to lose as much stone as what I am
getting, not to mention the time involved to get the two surfaces flat
and even. I have cut alabastor on a large bandsaw, but it trashed the
blade and was impossible to control very well. Any suggestions on how
to cut thin slabs of stone?
