Reclaimed Virginia Marble Slabs – Vintage Architectural Stone

Description :
This collection of salvaged Virginia marble slabs offers a rare opportunity to work with a historically significant and regionally quarried stone. Each slab is 7/8" thick and showcases the soft beige tones and subtle veining typical of Virginia marble—widely used in monumental architecture and civic buildings throughout the eastern United States. The slabs are reclaimed and feature unfinished edges and occasional pre-drilled holes or markings from their previous installation. These natural signs of use lend authenticity and texture to the material, making it especially desirable for restoration projects, high-end counters, vanities, wall panels, or custom furniture fabrication. Sold individually and ideal for eco-conscious design projects looking to preserve craftsmanship and history.
