New mousepad

Last night, from Polycor's quarry in Colorado, I received a nice piece of their 'Valley Gold Vein' marble. It is now (in my opinion) the nicest mousepad in the building.

I was thinking of using this around a pool for pavement, but it would probably be too slippery. I think now I'm leaning towards tumbled beige Botticino from Turkey. Anyone speak Turkish or know a quarry manager? Shipping has to be expensive from Ankara to Dallas for 120 m^2...
