Find a local business that cuts stone for kitchen countertops, and ask if you can salvage a few ends from the junk pile out back. Recently, I found a beautiful slab of polished granite that way.
I needed to have the slab cut in two pieces. The owner wouldn't take money for them, but he suggested that I tip the man operating the cutting machine in the shop. So I gave the operator twenty bucks for ten minutes of work. In return, I have two pieces of polished granite that I'm using under my monoblocks, each piece more 1.25" thick.
