## Questions

### How do I choose the actual Ink Marble slabs?

Ask for photos of the slabs available. We send each slab numbered and measured, so you approve the exact slabs before anything is cut or shipped.

### Can Ink Marble be book-matched?

Book-matching shows best on veined stone. This stone has little vein movement, so slabs are usually laid in sequence instead.

### Can Ink Marble be used outdoors?

We recommend it for interiors. For outdoor areas, look at granite, travertine or terrazzo.
