That is a very nice piece of marble and the fact that it is in the shape of a C5 logo is even better.

That is very interesting , I've been in cabinetry and granite work now for 32 years and that's never even crossed my mind , to be honest I'm not even sure what kind of cutter they used to do that with ?
