Hi remodelfla, I have not seen any but I would keep in touch with a few fabricators. Most of the staying busy guys like Jorge I mentioned in another post get or store remanants all the time. You never no when one may show up. Have you thought about putting an ad in craigslist?

I answered this earlier to day jterri... but somehow it got lost. I haven't been in contact with any fabricators since our current wish list plan is to use the soapstone I fell in love with and have Florida Joshua come down to do the fabrication. It would be worth the travel money to have him. Joshua also said that if I can get my hands on a marble remnant he could do the fabrication. I shot an email to some stone yards I found by googling telling them what I'm looking for. I've been searching craigslist daily for over 2 years looking for a remnant but never thought of posting a request myself. Great idea!!

If it's meant to be you will find your marble I have no doubt. It would certainly be worth your while to get flajosh as I have not heard of anyone in our parts that could be trusted with a soapstone job. Plus you are only paying for what you need. In my case the granite install was cheaper but I had to buy two whole slabs so it came out to about the same. Although I have some extra granite I did not save any money.
I will keep an ear open for marble but think you may have some luck by placing an ad. Someone has some sitting around in their garage or shed and have forgotten about it. I would put a price range so people don't get grand notions of retiring or buying an Island somewhere...those people on the S, Fla C.S have some crazy ideas on what their stuff is worth.

It's been a long time since I've been in Miami, but there used to be a number of yards just west of the Palmetto near the airport, and the folks at most of them were extremely nice--they let me rummage through all their Portuguese Aurora marble tiles when I only needed one to use for a table top, for example. Also one off Commercial in Broward--can't remember the name of that one--very large, very commercial looking, but very accommodating people.

Chiming in on writersblock's note--just finished going through a granite purchase/fabrication/install. Indeed, if you take the 58th St. West exit off the Palmetto Xway in Miami you can find a huge variety of granite and marble shops. I would take a drive and see what you come up with. There are large and small vendors. Lots of indie stores and mom-n-pop (aka mami y papi down here :) operations.

The places I shopped for my stone both could have what you need. One place is Intercontinental Marble. They have a huge warehouse and seem to have quite a lot of marble including remnants. You might also try Keys Granite. More high end place but they also have a huge variety. The fabricator I used was Exotic Marble Creations. You could call there too. The owner's name is Cristina.

Good luck!
Ann

Thanks all. If I don't hear back from the Broward stores or from my craigslist posting; DH and I will take a run down to Miami and schelp around.
