Thanks for sharing this Dave! Picasso Marble is one of the first materials I ever picked up to cut and work! It's cool to know the history!

Is that location open to the public? It would be fun to go look for some out there!

Looks like I can't go there and pick up rocks... But it does look like a lot of rock shops carry it, if I ever decide I can't live without some of this beautiful marble.

I'm a fan of Piccaso Marble too. Especially the pieces that have "scenes" that resemble forest vegetation. Slabbed up a neat piece last month. Sadly I'm not seeing much of the rough here in the eastern U.S. much anymore. You west coast lapidaries are so lucky!
