  “American Marble. – In West Rutland, Vt., marble is obtained which has no superior for sculpture in the world, and some of it has been exported to Rome, ordered by Italian sculptors.  It has a fine grain and works beautifully under the chisel.  At Great Barrington, Mass., there is a flexible marble, which bends like a bow when wet.  Black marble, equal to that of Ireland, is found in New York, and verd antique is found in many districts, and in every State, in almost every variety.”
