Pfft, stone veneer.  That's for the peasants.  :P
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

..the Mulliner folks create stone surfaces just 0.1 mm thick...

I'd honestly love to know how they do that...

"sustainably sourced from India,"

Ain't nothing sustainably sourced from India :shake:

Very interesting in terms of a materials science and production point of view... And good in Bentley for thinking out of the box.

For the next few million years as India lifts the Himalayas and pushes lots of deep down rock up it probably is sustainable.
