Quoted text begins.Is Alabama marble brittle like GA marble? I have a block that I hope to
start carving in a few months.
End of quote.


I haven't carved Alabama marble, but the blocks I've seen were very
different from the GA marble, with a finer grain. The blocks I saw
were "cotto" (old, sugary), but that could just have been from
spending too much time up North with our freeze-thaw cycles.

I think I have a sample around here somewhere, I'll have to see if I
can find it.
