Description
A coarse-grain, pale gray with waves of white clouds and veins quarried near Tate in Pickens County, Georgia (Bucher 1996). It polishes to a high gloss and is used as a building stone. Other gray varieties of Georgia marble are sold as Silvery Gray and Mezzotint. Silvery Gray is a uniform light gray marble that has no veins or clouds. Cherokee marble was used for the exterior of the east-central front of the Capitol building in Washington, DC.
