After seeing the Taj Mahal in all it’s great marble glory, the bus took us to a business that makes items out of marble. The current artisans are ninth generation marble decorators and we saw three of them at their work with hand tools, settling on the floor while our host explained the process.
Next we were escorted into the show room, sat on cushy stools, and served beer or soft drinks. Our host showed us the different characteristics and sizes of the pieces, which come with a table base ready for a light to be installed under the table top or with a lazy Susan. I opted for a small table top and the lazy Susan option. Those of us interested had an individual sales person (not at ALL as high pressured as the carpet salesperson in Fez on my Morocco trip!). The best part? The price includes shipping door to door!
