The high-end offerings don't stop there, though. All of Cumar's stones are also "book matched," which means slicing a stone in half, opened like a book, and polished on the opposing sides, so the vein continues through the slabs and creates a consistent pattern. "That's just something that our clients want," Carlotta says. "They're looking for that perfect stone." And what a selection of perfect stones clients will find at Cumar. There's white Calacatta marble with a soft gray veining, semi-pre- cious slabs like black and brown petrified wood, agates in shades of blue ranging from royal to sky to purple and lilac, amethyst, quartz, and thousands more.
