I hope you enjoy these marble articles, if you have an article that you would like to see here please e-mail me.  Also something to keep in mind, some of these articles may be dated or contain inaccuracies.  At the time that they were written the authors I'm sure used the best information that they had.  Sometimes new info comes to light which disproves earlier theories or beliefs.  I haven't tried to correct or change anything, I have reproduced the articles exactly as they were given to me.  If you see something that you feel is incorrect I would encourage you to contact the author and work it out with them.  If they send me a revised article I'll promptly change it on the site.  Thank you, JS
