Where I live marble is the stone actually quarried. Danby marble was once claimed to be the world's largest underground marble quarry. The stuff is EVERYWHERE. I'm not clear why, but they used to dump millions of cubic yards off the parking lot at the mouth of the quarry. A town road runs along the base of that dump. Local people have always picked from it for projects. The quarry people frown on the practice.
Not far away are several granite quarries.
15 miles away are a row of slate quarries.
Still I know of no one who has built a stone saw. All that I know of have manufactured machines. To me marble (the most easily available) does not appeal. As kitchen counter top, it stains way too easily, is fragile, sensitive to hot stuff, and white.
As paving, it is slimy when wet, not the sort of thing you want for stairs even.
