    Is there anywhere in DGT that handles and/or cuts marble stone other than Citi Hardware. All CH seems to handle is granite and only 3/4" thick.

    Why do you prefer marble over granite? I think marble asborbs materials such as fats more easily than granite and has many other disadvantages.

    You can cut off a length of marble 2 inches wide and epoxy it to the underside of the counter. After some sanding to shape the edge it makes the marble look like it is 1-1/2 inches thick. My carpenter does that and it looks pretty good. The glue joint is barely visible.

    Is this man made marble or natural marble?

    Pretty sure it was the man made stuff.
