You do realize there are marble deposits all over the world it isn't something that is specific to one region, some regions are known for their marble deposits like china, spain, india, and italy, and they likely didn't have to climb mountains back when this stuff wasn't being harvested to suit the needs of a 7 billion populous (World wide). It was probably found in huge boulders back then all over the place by these mountains.

These tiles were retailed at $600 a box and there only a quantity of 4 per box and the dimensions are 12x24. Scary material to work with when you keep the value in mind 😭💯

I had a job at a marble and quartz slab company and did everything in the video other than the extraction process. I cut slabs, sealed and polished and it was a really cool job. Amazing process from start to finish. Unfortunately I had a serious lack of training and was just let loose to run machines that consistently broke down daily and nobody around who could fix them. I unfortunately was eventually fired because I was forced to run the machines in manual mode which vacuum suction the blocks to pick them up and stack them after they are finished and when suction cups failed I would inevitably drop slabs and shatter them. If that place had better management and decent equipment I would still be there today and would have no plans to leave. If you ever get the opportunity to get a job doing that stuff you should jump on it bc it's so cool. Now I'm a locomotive mechanic and have good management...quite the change in career

As a marmor worker... Just don't use Calacatta for exterior use or countertop. It's a marble so anything acid will "attack" it (like rain / vinegar / lemon / tomato sauce) and the beautiful polish will disapear for a granular touch (but only where acid stayed). AND it will always be "dirty". Even if you wash it directly after a bad use, some time after, it will have stains of what you prepared on it. Same goes for cutting on it, it will make cavity. And hot plate will cause slits. Same goes for every marble and limestones (exceptions do exist but yes 99% of marble won't like it)

I like how they slather some cheap resin over the surface to fill in cracks and defects, like this resin is going to LAST, all resins and glues turn color, get brittle and fail, especially with exposure to sun, UV light. Mable stains easily, I would not use it for a kitchen counter- fired porcelan tile is much better

If this was extracted in some third world countries, most of the video would be of how it is polluting the surrounding due to mining. Focus of the video would have changed to how expensive it is to how environmentally hazardous it is. But for the so called developed country it is only mentioned in last bit of the video for few sentences to condemn it. Hypocrisy.
